I am thrilled to be joining thousands of walkers and runners across Canada for the Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women, raising funds and awareness for women’s mental health programs at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.
To celebrate one year as a member of the St. Joe's Foundation team, I am thrilled to take part in this incredible event for the 2nd year in a row and to show my support as both a grateful patient and team member!
Across the country, millions of women live each and every day impacted by mental issues; I am one of those women. I am so thankful to have had the Women's Health Concerns Clinic at St. Joe's as a resource, as I navigated my first pregnancy and post-partum experience.
I dealt with crippling post-partum anxiety and the support I received at St. Joe's made me feel like I was not alone.
I continue to live with anxiety and ADHD, but with the support and tools I received from the Women's Health Concerns Clinic, I am able to better manage my symptoms and live my life more fully.
I hope you will consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal, and provide crucial support to women's mental health initiatives here at St. Joe's!
