  • Subject: Join Me in Supporting Something That’s Making a Real Impact 

    Hi [First Name], 

    I wanted to take a moment to share something that’s really inspired me: Peak Week, an annual campaign that combines adventure with purpose in a powerful way. 

    It was started by Robert Lemermeyer, a passionate outdoorsman and advocate for mental health. After navigating his own journey with mental health and addiction, Robert found healing in the mountains. In 2023, he turned that experience into something bigger, launching Peak Week to raise awareness and support for youth mental health across Canada. 

    Each year, Robert and his team take on the incredible challenge of hiking 7 mountain peaks in 7 days, using the effort to raise funds for Impact Society’s HEROES® programs, programs designed to build long term resilience, mental health and well-being in youth. 

    Since it launched, the campaign has raised over $50,000, making a real difference in the lives of young people, and this year, I’ve decided to get involved.

    I’d love for you to join me. Whether it’s donating, signing up to hike, or simply spreading the word, your support means everything.

    Take a look at what it’s all about:

    Thanks for taking a moment to check it out. Let’s climb for something bigger, together.

    Warmly,

    Every step I take helps raise funds so youth across Canada can receive the tools and support they need to build confidence, resilience, and purpose.

    Dear [Name], 

    I wanted to share why I’ve committed to Peak Week 2025. Like many, I’ve seen how mental health challenges can affect young people. Impact Society’s HEROES® programs are helping youth develop the confidence and resilience to face those challenges head-on. [Personalize this section]

    This August, I’ll be hiking 7 peaks in 7 days to raise funds and awareness. My goal is to not only challenge myself physically but to make a meaningful difference in the lives of youth.
