About My Challenge
On November 2, 2022, Royce Hollier lost his battle with mental health.
Royce was my parents’ friend. He was my driver’s instructor. My English teacher. My mentor. Royce believed in me — and he made sure I knew it.
He was someone I trusted to review my work throughout university. He helped me write my Letter of Intent for grad school. He encouraged me constantly. He showed up for me in ways I will never forget.
He was my friend.
Losing Royce still feels like a 10,000-pound weight on my chest. He was genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever known — and yet, beneath his smile, he was struggling in ways so many of us never saw.
This year, Royce is a grandpa. His granddaughter is the same age as my daughter, and it absolutely wrecks me knowing she won’t get to grow up with the man who raised her mom. Because if there was one thing bigger than Royce’s personality, it was his love for his wife and his children.
Every day I try to honour him — for him, and for his family — so that his grandchildren grow up in a world where people keep showing up for others the way Royce did.
Every day Royce battled mental health was hard. So, I’m completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Please support me as I #PushForBetter from February 5–27.
