My Story…

We're back at it again, running as a family in support of children and youth mental health support through Starling, previously known as Lutherwood. Being able to do this run with the two people I love the most in this world means everything.


If you know me, then you know mental health and wellness is always a topic that takes up a large piece of my heart. Working for almost half of my life supporting children and families, many who have dealt with adversity. Access to resources such as those offered through Starling is life-changing for so many children and families and crucial to our community.


When you support Steps for Kids you are helping families gain access to services such as therapeutic services walk-in counselling and music therapy, safe haven youth services that provide shelter to unhoused teens, day treatment services, mobile crisis support, family outreach, psychological supports and so much more.


Just like in previous years our goal is to reach 1000.00. Between Ayden, Sofia, and I we know at least 500 people.If 500 people were to donate even just 2.00 to this cause, we would easily meet our goal. So if you have it within your means we would appreciate the support so much as we get ready to run for this very worthy cause.🩷

Description

Welcome to my personal fundraising page! 

Across our community, more young people than ever are struggling with anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. The need for timely, accessible mental health support for children and youth has never been greater.

That’s why I’m taking part in Steps for Kids.

Every step we take and every dollar raised supports Starling Community Services, helping ensure kids and youth can access the care they need, when they need it most. Your support directly funds life‑changing programs like the Children’s Mental Health Centre and Safe Haven Youth Services, programs that offer safety, stability, and hope during some of the toughest moments in a young person’s life.

Thank you for helping build brighter, more resilient futures for kids in our community.
