My Story…
“Some wounds the world never sees until it is too late”.
In most cases, suicide comes from a state of depression in which one suffers in silence. Overcoming depression is not an overnight process, it takes work but once depression is recognized, help can make all the difference for 80% of affected people.
So, let’s end the stigma that surrounds it. It is not different from having something wrong with another part of your body, such as high blood pressure or a broken arm. We cannot fix what we do not face.
This is why I will dedicate this run to Suicide Prevention, in honor of all the victims, for those who have visited that dark place and know how hard it can be, and all the amazing people working in our communities to bring brighter days.
If you are in a position where you can give, I invite you to support this cause by making a donation to the Association Québécoise de Prévention du Suicide.
More needs to be done to help people with mental illness.
¡Muchas gracias!
