Help Valery raise money

5 years ago I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder and depression. I understand the stigma surrounding mental health issues and I am hoping to help spread awareness and to let others know that it's something we really do need to talk about . I have never been afraid to speak about my challenges and I hope I can help others realize that they are not alone, support is available and there are resources to utilize . Medication, therapy and the support of my friends and family have helped me tremendously. I also started running and it has become instrumental in my recovery and in maintaining my mental health. Running has changed my life and I would like to use it as a vehicle to educate others and raise awareness. My pledges will all be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Please help me reach my goal for this very worthwhile organization.
