Why I Am Fundraising

I am so excited to be participating in the 2026 Capitalize for Kids, Bay Street Games, where professionals from over 30 Bay Street firms come together support a cause close to my heart.

As a mother, an aunt, a daughter and a friend, I've come to realize that one of the most important things we can do is protect our children - especially when it comes to their mental health in an ever-changing world.

As adults, we navigate so much each day - pressures at work, responsibilities at home, and the constant pace of everyday life. Even then, we can feel overwhelmed or stuck. Children and youth face many of these same feeling, but often without the tools or support to understand how to manage them - making them especially vulnerable.

Recently, I discovered the power of yoga in my life, and it's been transformative. By taking part in this challenge, I'm honouring my own journey while helping more children access the mental health support they deserve.

Every dollar raised, makes a difference!
