Calgary woman running for mental health awareness, after partner’s death – CTV News Calgary
Since the suicide of her partner, Andrea Gordon has turned to exercise to improve her mental health and well being. She decided to run every day in the month of September with the goal of donating money with every kilometer she ran.
Gordon also created an online fundraiser for other community members struggling with the proceeds going towards the Canadian Mental Health Association and Centre for Suicide Prevention.
