Mental Mountains Project was founded by Keith Batenhorst after his own life long struggle with mental health. We all have mountains, and we want to show you that you're capable of overcoming them and living your life to the fullest. We aim to inspire, create awareness, and raise funds for those who otherwise would not be able to afford & receive proper mental health services.
MMP is built on annual mountain climbing expeditions to create awareness, destigmatize the conversation on mental health, and raise funding. Our tag, "Climb Your Mountain," is aimed to inspire those to take on the metaphorical or physical challenges that may seem insurmountable in their lives. Each year we push further into the stars past our self-imposed limitations
Throughout his own journey with mental health, Keith has been able to find an outlet through the outdoors and being in the mountains. In an effort to bring the mountains closer to everyone, we've started an endurance mission to show up and do the daily work in honor of everyone going through the struggle. We founded Miles 4 Mental Health as a way to represent the daily struggle.
