And they're off!!

This morning, Jane Machum and Leilany Garron-Mills took their first steps on the Camino del Norte; beginning a 37-day, 800 km journey along Spain’s northern coast!

They’re walking in support of Laing House, turning each kilometre into meaningful impact for youth and young adults navigating mental health challenges. With their journey being fully self-funded, every dollar raised goes directly to Laing House.

So far, thanks to the incredible support of our community, over $45,000 as been raised! Let's keep up that amazing momentum!

We are so proud of Jane & Leilany, and can't wait to closely follow this incredible journey!

A wonderful afternoon of learning and exploration at the Beaty Centre for Marine Biodiversity 🌊

Our members had such a great time exploring the aquarium together and learning more about marine life through a dedicated guided tour. Experiences like these create opportunities for connection, shared memories, and trying something new together.

Thank you to the team at the Marine Centre for such a welcoming and engaging visit. đź’›

Creativity in full bloom 🌸

Our members recently took part in a flower painting session and the results were nothing short of breathtaking.

Each piece is vibrant, expressive, and completely unique, reflecting the creativity and individuality of each member.

Moments like these remind us how powerful art can be and the impact of these programs!

Two weeks until the climb!

In just 14 days, Jane Machum and Leilany Garron-Mills will set out on an incredible journey along the Camino del Norte, walking over 800 km from IrĂşn to Santiago de Compostela all in support of Laing House!

They have taken on this challenge in an effort to raise vital funds to help continue empowering youth & young adults with lived mental health experience. Even more inspiring, their journey is entirely self-funded, meaning 100% of donations go directly to Laing House.

We’re so proud to be part of their “why,” and grateful for every step they’re about to take.

Join us in cheering them on, and if you’re able, consider supporting their journey 💛
