I’m participating in the RBC Race for the Kids Toronto to support a cause that means a lot to me: youth mental health.
As someone with mental health issues, I've experienced the struggle of finding the necessary support to help me. I am extremely grateful to be surrounded by loving friends and family who have helped me get the support that I needed to thrive and succeed!
Although I have been fortunate enough to receive support, not everyone has had this opportunity. There are 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. This is largely because families don’t know where to turn to find the services their children need.
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 of $200! Together, let's make a difference!
