Event MUT-TOUR to make a stop in Leipzig on 22nd August
The MUT-TOUR 2022, a recurring event in Leipzig, is currently underway, inviting everyone to participate in a unique initiative that promotes understanding and courage in dealing with mental illnesses. This six-person tour, which includes teams travelling on tandems or on foot, is not a newcomer to the scene, having been initiated back in 2012.
This year's MUT-TOUR, with the motto "Self-help in motion," is a free, registration-free event that covers a significant distance across Germany. The current tandem stage of the tour is an eight-day, 396 km journey, with the destination set for Lutherstadt Wittenberg on August 24th.
The route of the MUT-TOUR includes a stop in Leipzig, where a public ride-sharing event from Kulkwitzer See to the Sachsen Bridge is scheduled for August 22nd. The event, which starts at the "Delphin" diving school at 1 PM with a departure at 1:30 PM, will be accompanied by participants of the MUT-TOUR, ADFC, and representatives from "Zwinkerndes Auge" and "Das Boot."
The MUT-TOUR uses personal faces and stories to raise awareness about mental illnesses, and this year's event is no exception. Over 70 participants are covering more than 4,100 kilometers during the tour, demonstrating the commitment and determination of those involved.
In Leipzig, psychosocial offers will be presented from 1 to 4 PM, offering an opportunity for participants to engage in conversation and learn more about the initiative. At the Sachsen Bridge, participants can find "Der Weg e.V.", "Das Boot" gGmbH, and the SRH training center.
For those who wish to join the MUT-TOUR, bringing their own bikes is encouraged. This event is a testament to the power of sports and community in fostering mental health awareness and promoting understanding and courage in dealing with mental illnesses.
Despite limited online documentation, the MUT-TOUR's history and purpose related to mental health awareness through sports events are clear. The event is a unique and inspiring initiative that continues to make a difference in the lives of many.
