Juno and I are competing in dressage and show jumping next weekend (Aug 25 & 26) at Emily's Memorial Horse Show in support of CASA Mental Health. There's only a week left, but I am hoping we can raise some money for such a great cause. Working in an inner city school I see first hand how mental health and addiction challenges can affect children and youth, and nothing would make me happier than to know we could make a difference in someone's life! 

Funds raised through this horse show will support the CASA House Program. CASA House is a live-in program for teens age 13-17 who need support with significant mental health and/or addiction challenges. These youth have not responded as expected to previous therapy.

The program serves youth with various needs including severe mental health challenges, addictions issues, complex learning needs, family problems or social issues. Teens stay at CASA House for an average of four months.

Please consider donating, even a couple dollars counts! THANK YOU!
