Mental Health for everyone
Rena was a dear friend and mentor. She and I met at CAMH. She hired me, trusted me, mentored me and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. Much of my career success can be traced back to Rena and the potential she saw in me. She was an inspiration in so many ways - not the least of which was her passion for breaking down the stigma and barriers for people living with mental illness.
I can't believe it's been 10 years since she left us. It's my privilege to be walking in her honour on May 1st.
Everyone who knows me, knows I'm passionate about helping people with mental illness. It has touched many people who are close to me, and none of us are immune to it.
I would be incredibly grateful if you'd support my walk, and help raise funds for mental health in support of CAMH.
******************
This fundraiser supports CAMH, Canada's leading mental health hospital.
Did you know that 1 in 5 Canadians experience mental illness in any given year? And that 4,000 Canadians die by suicide every year—almost 11 people per day?
And yet, many don't realize that, in its most severe forms, mental illness can be fatal.
With your support, we can change how the world sees and treats mental illness. We can break down stigma and lead important conversations about suicide prevention. We can give people time to get the help they need; families time to heal; and researchers and clinicians time to make breakthroughs and offer new treatment options.
Please donate today.
Together, we can give people hope for a better tomorrow.
