Mood Disorders Society of Canada is very pleased to announce that Christine Socasau of Vancouver, has taken up the Andean Volcano Challenge which starts in less than a month. She will be raising funds for the Mood Disorders Society of Canada’s Elephant in the Room anti-stigma program.
Christine will join close to 100 fellow HSBC employees from around the world in Quito, Ecuador to hike 100 km over 5 days (backpacking and sleeping under the stars at 4,300 m (over 14,000ft) altitude). Their hike will support a shared goal – which is to raise funds and awareness of mental health, supporting dozens of mental health organizations world-wide such as the Mood Disorders Society of Canada.
Christine’s fundraiser ends on March 30, 2020, donations of all sizes are appreciated. Together, we can and do make a difference. Please visit her fundraising page for the full story and to make a contribution.
