My Story…
Hi friends,
This is my first official Half Marathon, I'm running in support of CMHA (Vancouver) to support and bring awareness to the importance of mental health awareness and access to critical services.
Any contribution would be greatly appreciated as I endure 21 km of something I am most certainly not good at, and am continually reminded I may not be physiologically built for.
However, this cause is greater than my self and inevitably aching muscles, so I hope my short-lived suffering might ease that of others -- with your help!
If a financial donation is not in the cards, please consider other ways to join the cause: https://www.camh.ca/en/get-involved/join-the-cause
With so much gratitude,
Andrea
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.
Join us.
