My Story…
For Chris, his village and for every future human we can help. Hope is everything. Just one foot in front of the other. The rest will follow.
4 years of care community and carrying the torch for Chris. Not for ourselves but for the youth that desperately need support and hope.
Thank you for supporting me in this for those who need it. It means more than you know.
Description
I am participating in A Run for Chris in honour of Chris Owens. On August 20, 2021, at the age of 26, Chris lost his battle with mental health and substance use. This year, to continue the proud tradition of raising funds for programs and services helping those living with mental health and/or substance use concerns, all funds raised will support St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s Youth Wellness Centre (YWC)
Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal, and so that we can help the YWC support young people in need.
The YWC is a safe environment for young people ages 17 to 25 to receive expert care for mental health and substance use concerns. The YWC team is committed to bridging the gap between the youth and adult mental health care systems – a time when young people can fall through the cracks of our system. The care team at the YWC offers culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed care and helps young people access the mental health and substance use care they may need in a safe(r) space.
Thank you for your support!
