My Story…
On October 16th I will be walking 5K to raise money for my favourite charity: Eli's Place! You know me, so you know that I am fully committed to seeing this organization make it across the finish line and this, our largest fundraiser of the year, is one of the ways you can help us make it happen.
It has been a tremendous experience sitting on the board of Eli's Place learning and contributing and working with common purpose. Many of you have followed our work via newsletters and social media — thank you!
The distance we will walk together in the TCS Charity Challenge isn't a long one, but the road to recovery for those with serious mental illness can be. I appreciate your support.
Description
For the 160,000 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.
