Participate in Grind® for the Mind to help support & improve mental health services!

Grind® for the Mind is a community-based fundraising event to hike up Grouse Mountain in support of mental health services at Richmond Hospital.

Mental health issues affect Canadians of all ages, gender, culture, education and income levels. One in five people in our community face mental health challenges, which place numerous stresses not only on the patients, but also their families who are often front-line caregivers.

The fundraising hike is the brainchild of local developer Paramjit Sandhu, the Ampri Group’s founder. It’s designed to help promote healthy bodies and minds.

Last year over 215 people hiked Grouse Mountain for Grind® for the Mind in support of Mental Health Services at Richmond Hospital. Through the support of sponsors, Ampri Group was able to raise $70,000 for Richmond Hospital Foundation!

This year, we’re trying to raise $100,000 by engaging more members of the community to get involved and by bringing awareness to mental illness to raise even more funds for this important cause.

The funds raised through this event will go towards further developing and implementing an innovative Patient and Family-Centred Model of Care in the Mental Health Unit at Richmond Hospital. This new model will help families in supporting and promoting the wellness of their family member affected by a mental illness.
