I’m raising money in support of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health by participating in the 2022 Sunrise Challenge, because it was awesome last year and a great boost to my own mental health, but also because CAMH does so much good work for the community at large. During the pandemic, awareness of the importance of mental health has risen, but there are still stigmas to accessing care for those living with mental illness, including (also on the rise during the pandemic) addiction. Any donation you make to this effort will help raise the ability of CAMH to embark on groundbreaking research and treating those who need it. These contributions - whatever you can make - will help shape the future of mental health care.

But no worries if you can't. No shame, no bad feelings - groovy vibes are also appreciated. Take care of your own well being as much as you can. I know it's hard, but you are worth it. 

Reach out to the challenge if you'd prefer to also rise with me, with the sun during this challenge, and participate in a good initiative toward the experience of a better world.
