I have a mental illness - and so do millions of other Canadians.
I am beyond lucky to have a wonderful support system, as well as the means to access medications and therapy that help me to live a happier, healthier life.
So many - TOO many - women in our community do not have the same privilege that I do. The effects of not having these supports can be debilitating. Now more than ever, we need to rally around the programs that provide relief for those able and willing to seek help.
On June 15th, I will be running my first ever 5km, raising help for women’s mental health programs at My Sisters’ Place, a program of CMHA Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services.
Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal of $250. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to women’s mental health programs in our community.
