My Story…
I am walking the 8k route this year with my dear friend, Cheryl, as my cheerleader at my side. This will be a physical challenge for me but minor by comparison to the challenges youth in our community face everyday. Thoughts of suicide and symptoms of depression and anxiety feel overwhelming and often unbearable for so many. NEED2 is an agency whose mission it is to provide support to youth who are struggling and prevent deaths by suicide. That is why I chose to fundraise for this agency.
I have struggled with my own symptoms of depression and anxiety since our motorcycle accident. Part of my depression has been not being able to run due to my hip and back injuries. I admit I have felt angry and helpless. However, with a great deal of support I am committed to moving beyond feeling so stuck. This walk is part of my journey of healing and recovery. I might not be able to run... but I am going to walk 8 kilometres and have FUN while doing it!
I know this pandemic has been challenging financially for so many. My hope is that you might be able to make a donation (of any amount) to my fundraising walk and/or please share this page with your friends/family if you so desire.
Thank you to everyone for your love and support!
