In 2013, University of Calgary students Amy Li and Leah Shipton co-founded Outrun the Stigma to raise awareness and acceptance of mental health and illness, and to support their student community. Through this initiative, they were able to donate over $200 000 to Distress Centre Calgary to enhance the ConnecTeen crisis support line.
