I am participating in the RBC Race for the Kids Toronto to support youth mental health.

As many as 1.2 million young people in Canada are struggling with mental health issues; yet less than 20 percent will get specialized treatment. This is largely because families don’t know where to turn to find the services their children need. Last year the Canadian Mental Health Association stated, "Canada's youth suicide rate is the third highest in the industrialized world." In fact, suicide is the cause of 24 percent of all deaths among Canadians aged 15 to 25 years old.

By sponsoring my run, you are helping youth find the right mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Please make a donation today and help me to reach my fundraising goal!
