Help Dagmar raise money

This is my fourth year running the Yorkville Run to raise funds and awareness for Stella's Place and young adult mental health. It is a challenging year for most of us, and young people are disproportionately affected by the pandemic. It's not an exaggeration to say their lives are at stake. September is Suicide Prevention Month and we can all learn and do more to help prevent suicides. There is a strong correlation between mental illness and suicide (90%). At Stella's Place, 70% of the young people who come to us for help screen at high risk of suicide. Every day our staff are saving lives and every day I grieve with the families who have lost a loved one to suicide. Since this year's event is virtual, I will not only run the required 5k on September 13 but will complete my own personal quintathlon this Labour Day weekend on my beloved Bruce Peninsula. This will include my favourite 15k hike, 40k bike ride, 8k kayak paddle to the tree of resilience, a run and a swim. Pls support :)
