Making Every Mile Count: Community Impact
Through his fundraising efforts, Tracy has raised over $20,000 through his participation in both the Shoppers Drug Mart Run for Women and Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend since 2017. Additionally, he has raised another $50,000 in support of The Royal through various fundraising initiatives. His outstanding support has helped raise awareness and much needed funds, as well as break down stigma—ultimately helping more patients reclaim their lives from mental illness and addiction.
“I’m privileged enough to have resources — a loving family, good friends, and access to professional support when I need it,” Tracy says. “But not everyone is so fortunate. That’s why I run for The Royal.”
By running, Tracy not only finds a way to manage his own anxiety — he is also making an impact for those who are in need and may not know where to start in seeking out help.
“I run because it helps me survive the hard days,” he says. “And now, I run so that others can get the help they need, too.”
