Description

We are 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 Cleghorn Early Intervention Program.

The team at The Cleghorn Program is focused on helping young people between the ages of 16 - 29 who are experiencing their first episodes of psychosis. This could be from a severe mental illness, trauma, substance use, physical illness amongst other factors. It's as common as Type 2 diabetes, yet it's a condition that still faces a great deal of fear and stigma. The Cleghorn Program recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and is very well respected for its expertise in youth mental health.

Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal, and so that we can help support young people in need.  

Thank you for your support!
