Local mental health advocate and co-owner of Out of the Blue Seafood Market, Jamie Herron, is looking for supporters to embrace the idea of “growing the fro” to stand out and support mental health. During the last year of the worldwide pandemic, Jamie recognized that due to business closures, most individuals ended up sporting a pandemic haircut or lack thereof.

Jamie wants to use this opportunity to get people involved in growing their own “fro”, or continuing to support someone that already is.

Jamie’s goal of $1,000 consists of 1000 individuals donating $1.00 (or more) in support of Rural Mental Health with the Canadian Mental Health Association Elgin-Middlesex.
