Better mental health
through sport

Fitness makes us happy.

We started the Head2Core Foundation to promote the transformative powers of maintaining an active lifestyle. We do this by raising funds through awesome and engaging events and partnerships, both virtual and in person, with proceeds going to associations and organizations that integrate mental health and sport.

About the foundation

Give back to the community

“Andrew Carter has been the number one morning host in Montreal for 20 years as host of the ANDREW CARTER MORNING SHOW on CJAD800 AM. He has nothing to be depressed about. He loves his job, is well rewarded, and has a great family and many friends and hobbies. But he suffers from depression. It kind of snuck up on him. Here is the story he told to his listeners. Please bear with the pauses, because it is a difficult story to tell. Maybe it sounds familiar to you.”
