On June 24, 2018, I’m going to be jumping on my bike and riding for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s annual fundraising bike ride, Ride Don’t Hide. TL;DR: Please help me and donate whatever you can! Don’t just do it for me: do it for yourself, for your friends, for your family. I’ve started by donating $10, so I hope you can match that or – if you’re extremely generous – donate more than that. And then, I’m asking you to please share my story and my fundraising page with others all over social media. I would be extremely humbled and grateful for any and all of your support. Link in bio!!! ---------- This bike ride fundraiser means a lot to me. A couple of years ago, I almost decided not to be here. And yet, I’m here. I’m alive. I’m humbled. I’m blessed. While I still struggle with it everyday, I’ve learnt to live with my mental illness. Now, I have this opportunity to do something and I want to do my part to help others who live with mental illness. I will be riding 10km in Peel Dufferin – Caledon Hills on June 24th and I need your help to raise funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. They provide many valuable programs and services supporting youth, adults, and their families in the region, struggling with mental illness and substance use/addiction. They do great work in bringing awareness to mental health and addressing the stigma around mental illness. I’m doing this for myself and my experiences with mental illness. I’m doing this for all of my friends who struggle with mental illness. And I’m doing this everyone – especially a close friend – who are, unfortunately, not longer with us. Please help me and donate whatever you can! Don’t just do it for me: do it for yourself, for your friends, for your family. I’ve started by donating $10, so I hope you can match that or – if you’re extremely generous – donate more than that. And then, I’m asking you to please share my story and my fundraising page with others all over social media. Right now, my fundraising goal is $150 but I hope we can all beat that. I would be extremely humbled and grateful for any and all of your support. I truly appreciate it.
