I am excited to be joining thousands of walkers and runners across Canada in the Run for Women, brought to you by the LOVE YOU by Shoppers Drug Mart™ program on May 26th in Markham.
York University is building our new campus in Markham opening in September 2024 and I am pleased to be running and raising funds for women’s mental health programs at Oak Valley Health (formerly the Markham Stouffville Hospital).
I started running in the Fall of 2020 as one way to support my own mental health needs during a very challenging time. I fell in love with running and now run several times a week.
There are all moments when we face challenges and it is so important that we continue to talk about the importance of mental health. This is why I have decided to raise funds to make sure that people in our community can access the services they need when they are experiencing challenges. Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal.
Keep on running,
Ijade
