Did you know as many as 1.25 million youth in Canada will experience some form of mental health problem? I was shocked to learn that 3 out of 5 of these young people will not receive the treatment they need.  These statistics made me realize there’s probably someone in my circle — and in yours — who’s living in pain.

 

I felt compelled to do something so I’m participating in RBC Race for the Kids, a charity fundraising race that supports youth mental health at Sunnybrook. Together, You’re The Reason more young people can access the care and support they need. 

 

I’m raising money to expand access to youth mental health care at Sunnybrook. As youth mental health challenges continue to rise, these funds help reduce barriers to care and ensure more young people can access compassionate support when they need it most. 

 

Sunnybrook helps connect youth and families with mental health and addiction services, strengthening support systems and helping young people navigate their care options. You’re The Reason this important network of support continues to grow and make a meaningful difference.

 

This vital work is made possible through donations from caring people like you.

 

Your donation through my fundraising page helps ensure that young people and their families find the mental health care and addiction services they need. You’re The Reason more youth can access timely support and build a brighter future. 

 

I believe we all benefit when we help young people. When you make a donation through RBC Race for the Kids, you’re helping change — and save — the lives of young people affected by mental illness and addiction. 

 

Thank you so much for your support of youth mental health at Sunnybrook and RBC Race for the Kids.
