Walk With Me Fundraising Campaign a success

Oct 31, 2023

The Do More Agriculture Foundation is extremely pleased with its recent "Walk With Me" campaign.

As part of the two-week campaign, BASF matched the first $10,000 raised.

Overall, a total of $40,000 was raised through Do More Agriculture's first-ever Walk with Me campaign.

"Walk With Me" is a global campaign created by U.K. farmer Chris Manley when he was struggling with depression.

Manley found that walking and journaling helped to improve his mental health, and wrote a poem called Walk with Me that outlined the feelings that people can have while feeling low.

The Do More Agriculture Foundation notes that the money will be instrumental in helping to promote the mental well-being of those in the agriculture sector.
