I’m 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 only one in five will get specialized treatment because families don’t know where to turn to find the services their children need.
Based on statistics
• The Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook has helped over 2,700 youth find the mental health care they need.
• 30% of Ontario families are caring for at least one youth with mental illness and/or addiction.
• Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Canadians between the ages of 10 and 24.
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. With your support, we can do better.
Thank you for being with us on every stride that we take in support to this great cause.
