My Story…
Running a marathon is as much of a mental challenge as it is a physical one. One of the reasons we decided to start training for a marathon is because, in this weird time, we found ourselves on the couch a lot more than ever and sometimes realizing we had not left the house in a couple of days. Getting outside and running has been a game-changer for our mental health over the last few months.
COVID has been difficult for so many reasons but one we all know is the mental health struggle. We are acutely aware that so many are struggling more than we could ever comprehend. That is why we decided to raise money for the Canadia Mental Health Association. If you can, please help us in supporting CMHA. Even the smallest contribution helps. We will run 42.2km to show you how much we appreciate your support!

Description
One of our goals is to support youth mental health early, to give them tools to support their life and most importantly, let them know they aren’t alone in their fight. Whether this was your story as a teen or now, or you saw a family member struggle with mental health and weren’t sure what to do, running for CMHA-VF is a commitment to making the Vancouver Fraser community better.
You are pounding the pavement anyway, and doing it as a mental health ally with a great song pushing you forward will have more impact than you can imagine. You can be the match that lights a child up and lets them know they have a lot of fight left in them.
