Brittany’s 9RUNRUN fundraising to raise for mental health for emergency service workers

My Story…
This will be my second race with 9RUNRUN.
As a previous member of the fire service I have met some pretty amazing people throughout the years and some of them have suffered with mental health.
The calls police, fire, ambulance, mine rescue are faced with sometimes aren’t easy. They may look fine and have it together but you don’t know their silent battles. You see something it sticks to you for life.
I no longer like water because I know what what it can do to people and I’ll leave it at that as a a parent it makes me an anxious parent now when it comes to ice or water.
Some people spend their life in the service and need debriefing, therapy, outlets you name it.
ABOUT THE 9RUNRUN: was created to proactively address mental health within the first responder community.
As an organization, we aim to augment current mental health services by providing additional peer support, informed clinical support and education across all Ottawa First Responders. Our goal: help First Responders thrive by providing a standardized, unified, and funded support group within the first responder community, retirees and veterans of the community, and stakeholders.
