My team
Donate to CMHA - Canadian Mental Health Association Calgary Region
Hi everyone and thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
On May 26th, 2024 I will be running my first ever Marathon in Calgary. Part of this race is the option to fundraise for a charity of your choosing, which I have gladly taken up the opportunity of.
This year I will be running for, and fundraising for the Canadian Mental Health Association - Calgary Region. Mental Health is such an important aspect of our lives that needs attention and it impacts each and every person in one way or another. I want to continue to encourage the conversations people can have about mental health and the impact you can have one someone by engaging with it.
The Canadian Mental Health Association - Calgary Region strives towards being a leader in reducing the impact of mental illness and addiction in the community to build resiliency.
I found it fitting to create a fundraising team of “Miles For Mental Health” as from now until May 26th, I will be logging a lot of miles and hopefully fundraising even more money to go towards helping those in need of help with their mental health.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and please share this page with friends, family and coworkers!

Description
It is Canadian Mental Health Association – Calgary Region’s (CMHA Calgary) mission to be a leader in reducing the impact of mental illness and addiction in community. For more than 60 years, we have provided a person and family centered integrated service model focused on early intervention and prevention of a mental health or substance use concern that delivers a measurable increase in community resiliency.
Our long standing belief is that recovery is possible. Our recovery model focuses on wellness by shifting the emphasis from a narrow, limiting view of a diagnosis, towards empowering individuals, building their strengths, resiliency and hope for a meaningful life. This recovery is demonstrated in the advancement of Peer Support where individuals with personal experience of a mental health or substance use concern are trained to support others through shared understanding and hope.
