Help Heather raise money

This September I’ll be running the Constantine Yorkville 5k Run in support of the Assaulted Women’s Helpline.  A 24 hour, 7 day a week telephone crisis line for women in Ontario who have experienced any type of abuse.

The Helpline is aiming to raise $40,000 with a team of 24 runners and I personally have set a goal to raise $1,000, but I can’t do that without your help!

In a normal year AWHL counsellors answer over 49,000 calls but 2020 and 2021 are not normal years and calls to this 24/7 crisis line have risen dramatically.  Counsellors answered more than 93,000 calls between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021 from women many of whom have spent weeks at home in untenable and often dangerous situations. 

Will you consider supporting my run for the Assaulted Women’s Helpline? Every donation makes a difference. I couldn’t do this without your generous support.
