Lynne Gough, Manager, Long Range Planning Section, Planning Services Department Help us to prevent blindness in the developing world OPERATION EYESIGHT UNIVERSAL <1 1-800-585-8265 Charitable Registration# II9068955 R R O O O I Oakville Chapter of SSO hopes to put the community on the right "path" to changing the mindset against the mentally disabled, by holding the W izard of Hope Walk for Schizophrenia and Mental Illness. The walk to be held on Saturday May 26, from noon to 4 p.m., will be a fundraiser for schizophrenia research. Organizers hope to raise $21,000 for the Bill Jefferies Research Fund for Schizophrenia - named in honour of the organization's Oakville founder in addition to raising awareness of mental health issues. Registration for The W izard of Hope Walk begins at noon at Town Hall. 1225 Trafalgar Rd. Walkers will set off with the `Wizard,' Town Crier Ian Burkholder, the Burlington Teen Tour Band, plus local Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, at 1:15 p.m., and walk south along Trafalgar Road to Oakville Place. Upon arrival, free lunch and refresh ments will be served at 2:45 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for the most pledges collected, the most original costumes, and various other door prizes. Afterwards, participants will walk back to Town Hall. Walkers can register in advance at the SSO kiosk at Oakville Place from May 21 to 27. Representatives from mental health agencies from across Halton have been invited to dress up and participate as characters from the movie, the Wizard o f Oz. A clown from Buttons & Bows will paint faces and sell animal bal loons. x The Wizard of Hope theme was cho sen for this walk, as The Wizard sym bolizes hope, the Lion stands for courage, the Tin Man for heart, the Scarecrow for knowledge and Dorothy for will. All of these strengths are required to counter the stigma of schiz ophrenia, says Grant. Schizophrenia is a biological dis ease of the mind, affecting one in 100 Canadians. It is usually brought on by stress factors between the ages of 16 and 25 - contrary to the popular belief that it is an emotional disorder. "It's a split from reality," explains Grant, whose son was diagnosed at 16, but is now making his way through col lege. "It's a lifetime illness, but it's episodal. You might have one bad episode, but never relapse again." This is the mildest form of the dis ease a schizophrenic may experience. `T here are negative and positive sides of the disease," explains Grant. "Sufferers go into a psychosis, they hear voices, have hallucinations and psychotic episodes. They withdraw from society."* And what is the worst case sce nario? "They end up in institution," states Grant. Lack of family and community support enhances the number of unnec essarily admitted patients, she says. "People have to realize that this is not just an individual disorder - it's a community disorder, too."
