THANK YOU, LONDON! MOVE HER MIND IWD EVENT

“The more women move, the better women feel. Yet, over half of the women are dropping out or stopping exercise completely, and all women are facing a myriad of barriers to exercise throughout their lifetime.”

For International Women’s Day this year, BackRoads London and ASICS Canada hosted the inaugural Move Her Mind walk/run/stroll!

Move Her Mind took place on Saturday, March 8th – the routes ranged from 2km, 5km, and 10km in the West 5 neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The event was inclusive inviting all paces and abilities. The event also featured a panel of inspiring women and girl speakers. Our own longtime REAL Role Model and supporter, Sasha Gollish, was the moderator and representative of Fast and Female at the event. The panel included Kubet Weston, Shauna Versloot, Meaghan Terzis, Kate Current, and Sawyer Nicholson. The event also included Beyond the Mirror – Self Compassion & Empowerment exercise & Positive Affirmation Messages, led by Vanessa Coulbeck & Sasha Gollish. We are lucky to also have Vanessa Coulbeck as part of Fast and Female’s REAL Role Model team.

The event was a huge success, with 250+ participants and $3,655 raised for Fast and Female! Fast and Female is incredibly grateful for the generosity of all the participants and teams that made Move Her Mind possible. We are thrilled that over 250 participants had the opportunity to move their bodies in a safe community environment. THANK YOU, BackRoads and ASICS!!!
