FIGHT CLUB Ep. 4 | Greer Pickford

Given the prevalence of mental illness, we wanted to take a moment to share a story about an extraordinary person, Greer Pickford. For the majority of her life, Greer has battled anxiety. This, unfortunately, has affected her life in a variety of ways. However, Greer’s resilience and determination to overcome her anxiety make her an important and honourable member of the Fight Club.

We admire Greer’s strength and courage to share her story. In 2018 – Greer’s first year of University – Greer took a leave from Queen’s University after perpetual anxiety overtook her life. Greer took her time at home to prioritize her mental well-being and return to the Greer we know and love. And while sometimes it’s not easy, today, Greer has overcome many of her hurdles with anxiety and is prepared to share her story to inspire and empower other’s suffering with mental illness.

Everybody’s struggles with mental health are different; however, Greer’s story serves as a metaphor; never be afraid to reach out for help when you know you need it because you are not alone! Thank you for reminding us of this, Greer!
