It offers four Pi courses: the standard Pi (3.14 miles run\/fast walk), the metric Pi (3.14 kilometers walk), the Cutie Pi (.314 miles) and the Virtual Pi (virtual run to support the cause).<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted something catchy and different to appeal to the community to come run,\u201d said Dr. Jillian Busch, a psychiatrist at Mountain Crest. \u201cAll of our personal struggles, careers, etc. can be put aside while we all race for a cause and enjoy it in the process. It helps our minds and bodies to have that common goal, all while having fun, getting healthy and incorporating a new, fun idea into the race scene: pies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event, which is the weekend before Pi Day on March 14, will round out its theme by having pies at the finish line for participants to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Busch and co-coordinator Jennifer Paxton, Mountain Crest\u2019s offsite clinic coordinator, hope the event not only helps raise money but also brings an awareness of the services the center provides for the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur patients often get forgotten about due to the stigma around mental health, even though it\u2019s a huge concern nationwide,\u201d Busch said. \u201cMental health is like a physical illness. Our brains are connected to our bodies. Although sometimes mental illness is affected by social and psychological situations, it is also a biological entity. Due to this, many times patients really have little control over the fact that they struggle with mental illness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One hundred percent of the proceeds from the race will go to benefit the center\u2019s patients. This may include the purchase of exercise equipment, Busch said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many of our patients need to burn energy, but we don\u2019t have the capacity to allow them to run outside,\u201d she said. \u201cExercise is a great way to improve mental health too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy lowering the stigma, we can help these patients be empowered to be who they are and not be defined by their mental illness,\u201d Busch continued. \u201cOffering compassion, hope, support and empathy for our most vulnerable patients in this community will make us united and strong \u2014 and we can do it while running for pie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to register, visit their website: <a href=\"https:\/\/pidaypik.wordpress.com\/\">pidaypiK.wordpress.com<\/a>.
