Those who know me know that I am a fervent supporter of the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. This worthy organization provides necessary patient services, advocates for people in our community who deal with mental wellness challenges, and conducts critical research into the functioning of the brain.

I'm running the Ottawa Half Marathon on May 25 to raise awareness of, and funding, for the Royal. If you can sponsor my run and help the Royal to help others in need, I would be forever grateful. Every little bit helps.

Let's work together to close the mental health gap ... the Royal cannot do it alone. Thank you!
