    And with each year, our impact grows — reaching more people, providing more therapy, and creating more hope.

"Bigmoose saved my life! hand on heart I wouldn't be here without you all and everything you do. For the first time i can see a future and that there is hope. therapy with bigmoose has given me a chance at life i didn't think i would get. i owe bigmoose everything, i came into this process broken alone and scared and i'm leaving knowing i can stand on my own two feet, with good people behind me and the courage to try again. thank you from the bottom of my heart you are real life superheroes."

Jeff - CEO bigmoose

"In 2022 WhyWeRun was born, out of a promise one man made to another, that he would help bigmoose mental health charity fund their life saving services.
Since that promise was made, and kept, WWR and it’s beautiful community has funded hundreds, yes hundreds of people struggling with their mental health, through therapy, resulting in testimonials that lives have been measurably improved and in some cases, saved.
Your fundraising has power, power to help others, and as you pledge to help WWR and bigmoose, we pledge to continue to support those going through dark times, together as a team we can change lives, thank you 🙏"
