Why Kronozio’s engagement with the DIFD cause?
Mental health is important to Kronozio, young athletes and sports fans
Kronozio is participating in fundraising for the Do It For Daron (DIFD) cause at the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. Daron, her friends and her family, have always been very involved in sports and hockey in particular: co-founder Luke Richardson is the coach of the Chicago Blackhwaks and was a professional hockey player himself. Mental health is important to us at Kronozio, as well as to young atheletes and sports fans everywhere.
Why Kronozio is involved
Kronozio co-founders Jonathan and David are parents of teenagers and were touched by Daron’s story as well as the mission of the DIFD cause. We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and we want to support efforts to raise awareness and provide support to those who are struggling. It was clear to us that we had to be a part of this cause and contribute to the effort, along with so many others, in raising money and informing people about this important reality.
What DIFD does
The DIFD cause supports education, awareness, and research initiatives that encourage young people to talk openly about mental illness and seek help when needed. It was inspired by the tragic story of Daron Richardson, a 14-year-old who died by suicide in 2010. Daron’s parents, Luke and Stephanie Richardson, turned their pain into a call-to-action to support young people struggling with mental illness. This grassroots movement aims to create awareness, inspire conversations, and transform youth mental health.
