EP103: Advocating for Mental Health

Skylar Roth-MacDonald grew up in Central Alberta, with soccer being his main passion. His life took a turn in 2009 & 2012 after losing his two best friends to suicide at just 12 &17 years old. With depression & various mental health battles taking up much of Skylar's youth, he hit a turning point in 2016. 

Skylar has applied the strength he has gained through adversity to big goals and has since climbed over 100 mountains, ran over 150 marathons, and run across Canada for mental health awareness. 

Today Skylar lives in Calgary, AB, is speaking to schools all over Canada full-time and is coaching runners & athletes as well.

Today we will discuss what it really means to be a Mental Health advocate.
