Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women - Edmonton 2025

The Run for Women funds life-changing programs and research at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women providing continued support for clinical-based, innovative research in mental health. This research is setting new standards in the treatment and care of women with anxiety and depression such as creating The Hope perinatal anxiety and depression e-therapy platform that has already helped nearly 3,500 women— in Northern Alberta and across the country.

The Lois Hole Hospital for Women provides expert patient care for women of all ages and in all stages of life. As Alberta’s only dedicated women’s hospital it serves as the centre of excellence for women's health in Canada's northwest and strives to meet the growing demands for women’s health services in central and northern Alberta. A dedicated women’s hospital is not just important – it’s vital, as women's health is community health.

Women are the tie that binds, the glue that holds, and the connection that keeps friends and families together. Like the women it supports, the Lois Hole Hospital for Women is always there. Please enjoy and be inspired by our compelling video that celebrates women, and the hospital that is here for them always.

All ages, all stages.

Quote from a participant: "I run for myself and so many women like me who have experienced the unbearable loss of a baby. I also run for all those who have needed to have specialized and innovative care at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women. I take great comfort in knowing that the funds raised at the run support others on their own journey toward hope and healing." Melanie Nakatsui, Edmonton Run for Women participant.
