Wayne Cho: Depression/Anxiety Hero

This is an amazing story. A man who suffered from anxiety for many years has run across the entire country of Canada.

His name is Wayne Cho.

His mission is to raise awareness for anxiety and depression, and eliminate the stigma around these illnesses.

His message is one of inspiration and hope.

Here’s what he wrote to his Facebook followers after the successful completion of his run last week:

Dear all,

I have completed the run across Canada to raise awareness of anxiety and depression on June 11, 2009 and I would like to thank you for your support.

Once we have taken the first step, the next step becomes easier.
Keep making small steps and we will reach the world!
I cannot change the world as I am just one man. But with you, we can!
Love led me to this journey. Love gave me strength. Love is you and me.
Love…

With all my heart,
Wayne

Thanks Wayne, for your courage, and for touching so many hearts along your journey.
