On July 22-23, 2023, our running community is holding a 24-hour RUN AROUND THE CLOCK Relay Challenge, in support of CAMH!
The relay organizers decided to support CAMH for this initiative, as physical fitness has so many positive benefits on mental health and personal well-being. In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians experiences a mental illness. By the time Canadians reach 40 years of age, 1 in 2 have – or have had – a mental illness.
We greatly appreciate all donations to help us reach our fundraising goal. Thank you for supporting our relay team!!

Mental Health Is Health.
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.
