Help Tyler raise money

Ahoy!

It's almost time for the Vancouver Marathon (May 5) which means it's time to start dusting off those credit card details to donate to the Canadian Mental Health Association - Vancouver Fraser. 

2023 was a year of massive downs and ups for me. The summer was full of some very challenging physical and mental health issues culminating in a diplegic migraine. 10/10 would not recommend. Long story short, with incredible support from health care practitioners, family, and friends, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and started taking an antidepressant to reduce the physical pain and help stabilize and boost my mood. And what a difference it has all made.

The past six months have been some of the best in my past decade. My energy is higher, my mood is better, my mental clarity is clearer, and I have managed more consistent marathon training than ever before. I am incredibly fortunate to have the support I needed all around me, but there are many among us who do not. This is where the Canadian Mental Health Association comes in.

Founded in 1918, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is the most established, most extensive community mental health organization in Canada. They are a federated charity, which means they are a collective of organizations bound together by a brand and mission. Together, they identify and respond to Canada’s most pressing mental health priorities. At the national and provincial level, they push for  system and policy change. At the community level, millions of people in Canada rely on CMHA’s extensive grassroots presence.

Please join me in supporting this incredibly important organization in our community.

Sincerely,

Tyler
