Dear Family and Friends,
As many of you already know, the area of mental health resonates with me deeply as a result of my own journey. We all have some kind of experience whether it be our own or someone near to us that this affects also. I will be joining thousands of runners across Canada in the Shoppers Drug Mart® 5K Run, raising help for mental health programs in our province and community. The more energy, support and resources we can drive into this area the better.
I have chosen this specific run because it truly encompasses the end resolve and where our time and energy should be focused, “Mental Health and Overall Wellness”.
Mother Teresa truly said it best, “'I will never attend an anti-war rally; if you have a peace rally, invite me.'
Although donations will help immensely, they are not the only way to show your support. Possibly you can choose to take the time to help someone in need, read up on what Mental Health and resiliency is and how to care for yourself and others in this area or even say a prayer for those who are currently navigating their own mental health journey. Whatever you choose I thank you endlessly.
To my dear family, friends and loved ones, thank you for being my beacon of hope. For not giving up on me when I had already given up on myself. To my amazing doctors and specialists, thank you for treating me not only like your only patient but also a human being. You believed in me and in my recovery time and time again. Lastly, thank you to my beautiful daughters may you always know you are more than enough.
