Hello Friends and Family, 

This year Jay, Ava, and Grace will be joining me in the RBC Race for the Kids Toronto to support youth mental health.  We are excited to join the race in-person again!

Donations from the RBC Race for the Kids in Toronto go to supporting the FAMILY NAVIGATION PROJECT (FNP).  As a Family Navigator with FNP I have seen first hand the challenges that families face when attempting to access mental health and addictions services. The pandemic has added additional strain to families and the system.   FNP is dedicated to helping families access the right services.

As many as1.2 million young people in Canada are struggling with mental health issues such as an anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression or addiction; yet only one in five will get specialized treatment. This is largely because families don’t know where to turn to find the services their children need.

By sponsoring my run, you are helping youth find the right mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Please make a donation today and help us to reach our fundraising goal!

Your generosity is MUCH APPRECIATED!
