Solo Walk/Run for Mental Health!




March 30th, 2020

Imagine the feeling of anxiety and fear created by the COVID-19 pandemic being your permanent state of mind? That is how it can feel to live with mental illness!

Perspective Communautaire en Santé Mentale (PCSM) is a community organization on the West Island dedicated to helping people with mental health problems achieve their fullest potential. PCSM currently serves 500 people living with mental illness and has a waiting list of over 100 people. PCSM is in dire need of funds to be able to meet this extra demand for service.
To help raise these needed funds quickly, PCSM is launching SOLO-DARITY, a Walk/Run campaign. We invite YOU to participate in this fun event to support West Islanders who struggle with mental health problems.
The Walk/Run in SOLO-DARITY campaign is an event that you can do on your own, given the social distancing required during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Let’s help support those who struggle with mental illness to manage in their day to day lives. Please join us in our Solo-darity Walk/Run this April 2020.

Goals

  • Raise Funds: We hope to raise $100,000.00 for PCSM to be able to respond to the increased demand in services for people with mental illness on the west island through a Solo walk or run anytime throughout the month of April.
This amount would allow PSCM to help 100 more people with mental health problems.
  • Send a Message of Hope: We hope to inspire a message of Hope and Solidarity to people who are struggling with a mental illness.
