I have signed up to participate in the Scotiabank Half Marathon on October 20th 2019 ... my first ever half marathon! Even with setting up this fundraiser pretty late in the game (knee surgery has pushed back any sort of training haha) I am determined to complete it... running or walking!
I am raising money for CAMH on behalf of my close friend, Sam Watson, who was suffering with mental health and passed away at the begining of this year. Sam was one of the most caring people I knew and was an amazing friend who I was lucky enough to share a ton of fantastic experiences and memories with.
Having also suffered with a mental illness and having friends around me who have used services from CAMH, I want to help raise awareness of mental illness and to help contribute to CAMH's incredible work and life saving services with this fundraiser.
I appreciate all donations made, no matter how little, every dollar really does count!
Thanks everyone!
