The 1st Annual SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. Run for Women takes place on Saturday, June 11, 2016. If you are wondering, it is in fact owned by Shoppers Drug Mart. Some 1,250 participants will take part in this run/walk for which Shopper’s says it will donate $10 per participant to the cause of assisting women who suffer from depression or related mental conditions.
THE NAME
It is being held in 14 cities but in Toronto it is a 5-kilometre affair which will close streets as set out by police below. It’s on pretty much from dawn until whenever, so be warned. The name is rather subtle. The police announcement calls it Love You but it appears in Shoppers material as Love. You. (Note the periods).
