The Calgary Eating Disorder Program provides specialised services for people as young as 13 diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding or eating disorders. The organiser notes that eating disorders carry a 5–10% mortality rate, and that suicide and cardiac disease are leading causes of death among those with anorexia. Early intervention is highlighted as important.
The Women’s Mental Health Clinic supports women with moderate to severe mental health concerns who are planning pregnancy, are pregnant, or are up to one year postpartum. The clinic serves over 600 women annually, and the organiser states that nearly one in five women experience major depression or anxiety disorders during reproductive years.
The event lists Shoppers Drug Mart as the title sponsor and Running Room as a national sponsor. At the time of this listing the Calgary Health Foundation fundraising shows CA$782.75 raised toward a CA$80,000 goal, and 138 participants are recorded.
