My Story…

Raising $ for OCISO's Mental Health programs for Newcomers to Canada. Last chance to donate is Sept 21. Thanks for your support! Why am I fundraising for OCISO? I’m sure we’ve all felt the impact of COVID-19 -- I know I have. And not just physical health, but mental health too has been a big concern. Now imagine if you are a refugee, or recent immigrant to Canada. Everything is totally new to you in this society -- and then comes the stress, danger and isolation of the pandemic! OCISO offers much-needed Mental Health Counselling to refugees and immigrants in the Ottawa area. Please support their critical work with some of the most vulnerable members in our community. Thank you for your support!

Description

For the 5th year running, the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO) is launching our “Run for a New Start” fundraiser.

We invite you to join our dedicated team of volunteers who are raising $25,000 for OCISO’s mental health support programs targeting the most vulnerable newcomers, women and youth.

The first 100 runners or walkers who commit to raising $100 will receive our cool “Run for a New Start” Tshirt as a thank you. 

Register to fundraise with us and ensure that refugees and immigrants feel welcomed and supported in our city.

Thank you!


NB: for more information, contact runforanewstart@ociso.org.
