Peggy Weekes to Participate in Toronto's Defeat Depression Walk/Run

TORONTO - May 30, 2017 - PRLog -- Few issues affect many individuals and their entire families in a dramatic way as depression.  Natural health authority and popular author Peggy Weekes understands this well, recently announcing she will be showing solidarity with her local community and those facing challenges with mental health issues by joining in the "Move for Mental Health: Toronto Defeat Depression Dog Friendly Walk/Run" on June 10, 2017.

"In my work I give natural and healthy approaches to combat depression so I understand it's not something that should be left unaddressed," commented Weekes about her participation in the Defeat Depression event.  "I think it's great that the Defeat Depression event is a run/walk and people can bring their dogs – both exercise and spending time with an affectionate pet have been shown to be natural ways to help boost mood.  I'll be participating in a series of events this year and this is one that I am most excited about."

The Defeat Depression Run/Walk event is held annually by The Mood Disorders Society of Canada and serves to raise much-needed funds for mental health programs across the country, while also raising awareness of depression.  The event is open to families and features live music, a BBQ and lots of fun and friendship.
