Our family is running the 10k at the Calgary Marathon, in honour of Gord Hobbins of Gord's Running Room.  David taught Gord's kids back in his Rosedale days; Michael has been working there for almost three years (thanks for giving Michael his first job!); and we've been shopping at Gord's since we came to Calgary in 2002.

As many know, Kirsten suffers from Major Depressive Disorder, first diagnosed as postpartum depression in 2008.  There have been lots of ups and downs over the years, and we're grateful for all the support we've received from family and friends.  

In light of both the above, we are striving to raise $1000 for the Canadian Mental Health Association, to help ensure that help is always available.  If you are able, please support the CMHA.  If you need support, please reach out.

Love, Kirsten, David, Michael & Annika

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.
