During the Ukrainian Festival in Toronto on September 14-16, 2018, the First International Ukrainian-Canadian Charitable Project will be held in support of patients with pulmonary hypertension. We are planning to make a fashion show with participation of patients with pulmonary hypertension of Canada as models.

The festival is focused on the Canadian public and over 800,000 guests visited it last year.

 What is the purpose of this action?

Through the prism of beauty we seek to draw attention to the problem of pulmonary hypertension, which is acutely worldwide.  We desire to overcome the information barrier and to be heard and perceived.

 How will this look like?

There will be two dozen models of different ages on the podium during the show. All of them are patients with pulmonary hypertension from Ukraine and Canada.

 What collections will the models present?

 The models will be dressed in the looks of Ukrainian designers.

Ukrainian designers will work with every model individually, so each image will be unique and with ethno accent. Participation in the show will help each patient feel easy and unique.

We invite patients with pulmonary hypertension in Canada to become models. We have 15 more places.

 We also welcome to our team the members of your family who can be volunteers and help us make it a success.

 Together with you we will make this event memorable and demonstrate the strength and cohesion of the PH patients in Canada and Ukraine.
