Joe Keating’s battle with depression sparked an idea to help others in the community.
Keating swung a kettlebell 4000 times last month in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association. The number symbolized the amount of Canadians who die each year by suicide.
During his own issue with depression, Keating said physical activity helped him quite a bit and so this type of effort really made sense to try. He hopes it may become an annual event.
The discussion about depression is happening more regularly now than in the past, but Keating notes some people are still very afraid to talk about it and that can lead them down a dark path.
