Inspired by a friend who lost a family member to depression, Richard Bennett, John Dallaire, Robert LeBlanc and Pat O’Brien founded the Three Mountain Relay, an organization that holds non-competitive relay events in the Moncton area to raise awareness and funds for mental health programs. Since its inception, the relay has raised over $300,000, contributing to the delivery of much-needed services for youth living with mental illness, their caregivers and the broader community.
