After living an extraordinary life, and fighting a brave battle with depression, our hearts are shattered to share that Lee took her life on Friday, March 26, 2021. She was the brightest light, a magnetic force of nature and was loved by so so many. Lee was an adventurer who overlanded the Americas in a self-built Sprinter van for two years, driving over 60,000km and crossing 13 country borders, starting from Barrie, Ontario to completing their epic journey in Patagonia, Argentina. She vlogged her travels with her former partner under the handle Max & Lee, gaining an engaged community of 600 000k+ across YouTube and Instragram YT @maxleeandoccy/ YT @lifewithlee7074 + IG @speakupforlee

If we can do one thing for Lee, it’s to spread the message that mental health is just as real as physical health, and can strike anyone, no matter how unlikely they may seem. It’s ok to not be ok and to ask for help. Lee was an advocate for mental health. She was candid and open about her own struggles. Get out into the world and talk to your loved ones. Check in. Ask them genuinely how they’re doing. Be available to help. To listen. Know your role and connect to help. Speaking up for Lee is removing the stigma of Mental Health #speakupforlee

We love you, Lee 🤍
