I’m participating in the RBC Race for the Kids Toronto to support youth mental health. Our friends at RBC are incredible and support so many incredible causes.

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. 

I'm running for all of the thousands of kids we've worked with who have been struggling, who have been doing their best to support one another. I'm running for friends, for family, and for the continous breaking down of the cultural barriers and stigma around speaking up.  I'm running for myself, when I needed help, support, and don't know what I would have done if I'd been afraid to reach out and ask for help. 

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

Please consider making a donation today and help me to reach my fundraising goal.
