My Story…
It is time again for me to walk to support the creation of a much needed service for young adults with serious mental illness. The gap of service for this demographic is real and vital. We lose too many to suicide in the 19 to 35 age group. Eli's Place will fill that gap in service with a rural residential treatment facility.
Help me build Eli's Place and donate for my 5 to 10K walk on October 17 and 18th, 2020.
Thanks for your support.

Description
For the 119,000 young adults in Ontario grappling with serious mental illness, access to effective treatment is grossly inadequate. The cost in lives lived with debilitating challenges or lost to early death is far too great. The vision of Eli’s Place aims to bring hope. A first-of-its-kind in Canada, Eli’s Place is modelled after a leading rural, residential long-term treatment centre with proven success. Programs that incorporate therapeutic work, specialized care and skills training will offer a path to recovery for people in this underserved age group, giving them the tools to heal and move from simply surviving to living.
