SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. Toronto Run for Women will raise funds to support Canada's largest mental health program for women at Women's College Hospital Foundation

TORONTO, June 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Mental illness indirectly affects all Canadians at some time in their lives through a family member, friend or colleague.

They will be raising important funds to support the mental health program at Women's College, the largest clinical and research program of its kind in Canada.
