Ladiesfest

The Ladiesfest 8K run/walk is an event designed to promote women's health, fitness and well being in the community. The run/walk allows women to challenge themselves by walking, jogging or running an 8k course.

The Cause

All proceeds from the Ladiesfest 8K run will be donated to the Alberta Health Services, Breast and Cervical Health Program. The Program is dedicated to educating women about health and providing women with the resources for the diagnosis and treatment of breast health problems including breast cancer.

We believe:

That women needing breast assessment require prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment of breast health problems.
That women are empowered in decision making by receiving education and emotional support as they work through this process.
That using the expertise of a multidisciplinary team will provide comprehensive care for women and their families.
That it is important to involve your family doctor throughout this process.
