Donate to CMHA - Canadian Mental Health Association Calgary Region

Hello! My name is Christine and I am running my first ever 10km race with my best friend Haley. We have decided to fundraise for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and I would like to dedicate my race to my uncle Tom. Uncle Tom silently battled the darkness of mental illness - a battle he tragically lost. 

Tom was a firefighter and dedicated most of his life to saving and supporting others. He was a loving husband to my aunt Patsy, and a great dad to my cousin Amy. I have fond childhood memories with him and our family - including camping in Beaver Mines, catching my first fish, and even going on a glacier tour!

I hope to honour my Uncle Tom by fundraising for CMHA. My goals are to spread awareness and help break the stigma surrounding mental health. All proceeds will go to CMHA to ensure that others receive the care and understanding they need.

Thank you for any contributions you are able to provide!


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.
