The Scurry is an annual event hosted by TiER1 Performance to raise money for local organizations that provide mental health services. On Friday, May 17, the event will start at noon with a three-hour team competition (think CBS’s The Amazing Race) featuring challenge stations throughout Covington,

Kentucky, and the Cincinnati Riverfront and end with an epic after party at Covington Yard from 4-7 pm. Register your team at thescurry.com by April 26!

Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the mental health initiatives at Lindner Center of HOPE, Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky, and the Adapt for Life program at Cincinnati Children’s. Since its launch in 2010, The Scurry has helped raise more than $400,000 for local mental health efforts.

Whether you participate in the team competition, sponsor the event, attend the after party, or donate to the cause, every form of support is appreciated and makes a positive impact on the community.

Trip to honor wife’s memory and raise awareness of the importance of friendship for mental wellness

Michael G. Leadbetter, MD, retired plastic surgeon, will launch his year-long friendship bus tour of the United States June 2024 raising awareness around the importance of friendship and connection for mental wellness. The trip is in memory of Leadbetter’s wife, Debbie, his life partner for 49 years. The couple had planned much of the trip before Debbie passed, with the goal of visiting friends around the country, highlighting the significant role friends played in their lives and their mental wellness. Leadbetter intends to donate $25 to Lindner Center of HOPE, a mental health center of excellence in Mason, Ohio, for every friend he interacts with on his journey. He is also hopeful that interested individuals that he meets will contribute to Lindner Center of HOPE and/or mental health causes of their own in recognition of his year-long tour. Leadbetter has a list of 150 friends he would like to visit who have played an important part in he and his wife’s journey.

Leadbetter and his wife lost their oldest daughter, who was living with bipolar disorder, to progressive illness caused by years of depression and uncontrolled addiction in 2020.  This devastating loss has fueled his passion for mental health.

“A person can hear, but a friend listens for meaning. A person can look, but a friend sees the heart. A person can know, but a friend understands your dreams. When in need, the Lindner Center of HOPE is where you will find your friends,” Leadbetter shared.

“A friend loveth at all times.” Proverbs 17:17

Leadbetter and Lindner Center of HOPE will have a launch party for the friendship bus tour on May 19, 2024, as part of Lindner Center of HOPE’s Community Education Day at The Manor House in Mason. The community event offers mental health education to local community members during a half-day event that includes a key-note speaker, resource fair and break-out sessions on mental health and wellness topics.

The official tour will begin in Brookville, Ohio, Leadbetter’s hometown on June 2 at a reunion with classmates from the classes of 1965 and 1966.
