I'm excited to be joining thousands of walkers and runners across Canada in the Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women, raising help for women’s mental health programs at Ontario Shores Foundation. The LOVE YOU by Shoppers Drug Mart Women’s Clinic at Ontario Shores provides short term, focused consultation and treatment to women with perinatal mood disorders and other reproductive issues that affect a woman's mental health.
Following my own postpartum mental health struggles, my personal goal is to be an active supporter and voice in all communities I'm part of to have more women seek help when they need it. We tend to hide or downplay our struggles, thinking that showing weakness hinders our careers and other life goals, but having a strong mental wellbeing allows us to persevere and become even stronger role models for others, including our own children.
Please consider donating or joining my team to help us reach our fundraising goal. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to women’s mental health programs in our community.
