Help us raise money

On June 16, 2023, we said goodbye to our dear friend Nathan after his long battle with mental illness. Nathan was the brightest light, the truest friend, and the best company you could ask for. Whether he was in your life for a short time, or a long time, Nathan always managed to leave his mark. Nathan was fiercely loyal to those he loved, incredibly talented, and as many know, extremely competitive. Regardless of the activity, Nathan always excelled. My friendship with Nathan began when he recruited me to run with the Cross Country team, where I joined Julia Liu and the three of us quickly became a trio. Nathan regularly made running look effortless, unfazed by hills, distance, or weather. Regardless of how challenging something was, Nathan always managed to keep a smile on his face.
To honour the one year anniversary of Nathan’s passing, Julia and I will be running for the first time since running with Nathan in High School. Together we will be running the UnderArmour 10km in Toronto on June 15. Additionally, on June 9, I will be running my first half-marathon in Nathan’s honour.

Please help us in raising money in Nathan’s memory. We have two donation opportunities:
We welcome you to donate here where all money will be donated to CMHA in Nathan’s honour.

All donations towards the Toronto 10km will be donated to Campfire Circle which offers camp experiences for kids/families impacted by childhood cancer and illnesses. For those who knew Nathan, you know he loved camp and the outdoors. We feel this is also a wonderfully fitting opportunity.
