Mental illness is the number one disability affecting people in the world. Talking about mental health saves lives! On September 14th I will participate in RBC Race for the Kids Toronto by running 10k with Team Cass to support youth mental health.
1.2 million young Canadians struggle with mental health issues, such as anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and addiction yet only one in five receive the medical care they need. This is largely because families don’t know where to turn to find the services their children need.
By sponsoring my run, you are supporting the Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook to connect young people with vital mental health and addiction services.
Thank you in advance. Susan xox
