Out and About: #Runforwomen

The Werklund School of Education’s Body Image Research Lab participated in the Run for Women at Calgary’s Edworthy Park earlier this month.

The lab is headed up by associate professor Shelly Russell-Mayhew who works with graduate students and postdoctoral scholars on issues surrounding the promotion of sound mental health. The team came together for the Sunday run on May 15 to support a cause that raises money for women’s mental health.

The group walked, jogged, ran, skipped, laughed, and generally had a good time as a team for 5K and 10K distances.   All pledges and donations collected during the run go to the #Runforwomen fundraising campaign to support women’s mental health programs at Foothills Medical Clinic.
