Fundraiser to support mental health needs in Oakville continued from p.9 As of May 12, Redick said less than half that total had been pledged. "It's a family-friendly walk. It's petfriendly. We have different routes for the walk, so you don't have to walk the whole 5 km. You can just come out and enjoy a really nice day in the park," he said. "The goal is to get people out and let them know our services exist and that we are looking for volunteers. And then we are hoping to raise money as well." Residents who want to participate in the walk are asked to be at Lion's Valley Park (the starting point for walk) shortly after 8 a.m. Redick said there will be presentations, a warm-up, food and refreshments. The walk itself will begin at 9:30 a.m. There is no shortage of reasons for residents to support the walk. "The facts are startling. One in five Canadians will experience a mental issue or problem each year and the World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that depression will become the second-leading cause of disability in the world by 2020," said Distress Centre Oakville Co-chair Lori Wilson. "We can join together as a community to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of mental health issues. Let's give our fellow community members the support they need." Those interested in participating can do so as individuals or as a team. Residents can also sponsor another walker.
