In May 2018, Aric McPherson took a selfie that would later inspire a significant journey. The photo, captured along Niagara Parkway with the American Falls in the backdrop, was more than just a snapshot of a tourist spot; it represented hope for Aric’s father, Greg McPherson. This image, shared on Aric’s Facebook page, symbolized a moment of potential turning point in Aric’s battle with mental health issues and drug dependency.Moved by this memory and the challenges his son faced, Greg McPherson embarked on a walk from Niagara Falls to Ottawa. This walk is not just a physical challenge but a poignant mission to raise awareness about the mental health and drug crisis affecting many individuals and families. Through his journey, Greg aims to shed light on these critical issues, hoping to make a difference in the lives of others facing similar struggles.
