This year I will be running the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon with the UREnough squad raising money to help reduce the Stigma of Mental Health and encourage a healthy conversation on this very important topic as it impacts many Canadians living with mental illness!
I am holding my own fundraiser to support CAMH, Canada's leading mental health hospital. Every donation made is 100% matched by my awesome employer, Google! Even a $5 donation will go a long way so please help me raise funds for a very important issue.
Did you know that 1 in 5 Canadians experience mental illness in any given year?
And yet many don't consider it a real health issue.
With your support, we can change attitudes, behaviours and culture. We can drive action and make a difference. We can shape a world where mental illness is seen in the same light as every other illness, and all people receive the level of care they need and deserve. A world where Mental Health is Health.
Please donate today and help me reach my fundraising goal.
Together we can break down stigma, fund innovative research, and provide access to new and promising treatments for people living with mental illness.
Thank you in advance!!
