Championing Mental Health through Fitness with Derek Gallup of SPARKLE
In our latest episode of "All Things Fitness and Wellness," we’re thrilled to welcome back Derek Gallup, a key figure in the fitness industry and a passionate advocate for mental health. May marks Mental Health Month, and there's no better way to kick it off than with Derek, who has dedicated his recent efforts to this vital cause through his foundation, SPARKLE – The Carla Gallup Foundation.
Established in memory of his wife, Carla, who tragically passed away in 2022 after a long battle with depression and anxiety, SPARKLE aims to combat the global crisis of mental health, highlighted by the sobering statistic that 1,900 people lose their lives to suicide each day.
During the episode, Derek shares inspiring updates about the foundation's growth over the past year. He discusses the strategic partnerships he's nurtured within the fitness community and explores the crucial link between physical activity and mental wellness.
This conversation is not only a tribute to Carla's memory but also a beacon of hope and action for anyone affected by mental health issues. Join us to hear how Derek's journey through tragedy has fueled a mission to save lives and strengthen minds through the power of fitness and community support.
