What Fuels This Mission

“I’ve battled bipolar disorder, addiction, and depression for most of my adult life — silently, ashamed, and often feeling completely alone. I know what it’s like to wear the mask, to be high-functioning on the outside and falling apart on the inside.” — Robb Pollard, Founder

From successful digital marketing executive to mental health advocate, Robb’s story represents thousands of men who suffer in silence; his ongoing recovery shows what happens when isolation is replaced with community and shared movement.
Every mile between Playa del Rey and Jacksonville carries the stories of men still fighting in the dark and becomes an opportunity to say what should have been said years ago: It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone.

Live Journey & Impact

Follow every step as Robb and the community walk and run from Playa del Rey to Jacksonville, Florida, bringing real, on-the-ground mental health conversations to communities across America.

We need to reach $50K before Robb takes his first step so he can focus on the mission — not the money.

Along the Playa del Rey → Jacksonville route, select stops will center veteran communities, schools, and colleges for on-the-ground mental health conversations rooted in lived experience, not polished talks.
Each city becomes a chance to walk with local men, highlight a veteran or mental-health partner, and leave behind connection that outlasts the miles.

How to Walk With Us

Movement first. Conversation second. Presence over performance.

  • Monday check-in calls for grounding and light accountability.
  • Wednesday “Walk With Me, Brother” community touchpoints to share stories, wins, and setbacks.
  • Pre-walk “no fixing allowed” local walks that model listening and presence instead of advice-giving.
  • Organic city meet-up walks along the route — no speeches, no structure, just shared miles.

The hardest distance isn’t Playa del Rey to Jacksonville — it’s the space between who you are and who you’re meant to become.

Sometimes you have to walk through hell to find your way home, but you do not have to walk it alone.

Real talk. Real miles. Real change — a promise that the pain that almost destroys us can become the purpose that saves others.
