My Story…
Mental health is something that looks different for each of us and most of us have been affected by mental illness in some way, myself included. In 2020, I decided to join the Board of Directors with Eli's Place, a charity focused on live-in rehabilitative care through human-centered activities to support those suffering from mental illness. I ask and encourage those I know to join in this effort with me, by registering for the run and joining our Eli's Place team, or providing a generous donation that I promise will go to a good cause.

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.
