About My Challenge

I was diagnose with anxiety an depression at 12 and have struggled my entire life with mental health issues.  Growing up it was seen as Taboo to even discuss any mental health issues and especially in an ethnic household. Mental illness does not exist in Latin culture and it has been a challenge to be understood by those around me. 

As more people open up and speak on their struggles, triumphs and journey to achieve a healthy state of mind; we start to break down the walls and barriers that surround something that we will all struggle with at some point in our lives.

I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. Please support me as I #pushforbetter in February.

All proceeds help the Canadian Mental Health Association to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health outcomes in Canada.
