DIFD
In November 2010, 14-year old Daron Richardson died by suicide. From this tragedy came a movement to transform youth mental health. Daron’s parents Luke and Stephanie Richardson turned their very private pain into a public call-to-action.
Supported by the energy and efforts of dozens of Daron’s close friends and classmates, DIFD was created. The family has deep ties to the hockey community, with Daron herself being passionate about the sport. As an outcome, many hockey teams and organizations raise funds for DIFD. Beyond hockey, individuals and groups host events like bake sales, golf tournaments, and corporate fundraisers, uniting thousands of people to the cause.
For over a decade, the DIFD movement has sparked important conversations, challenged stigma, and raised critical funds to improve mental health outcomes for young people. These efforts make a profound difference by advancing research and accelerating suicide prevention initiatives at The Royal, one of Canada’s leading mental illness and addiction centres. With your support, The Royal will continue making significant strides in understanding and preventing suicide, particularly among young people.
Join us in supporting DIFD as our charity of the month this May!
