Run for the Front Line
VIRTUAL RUN/ WALK: June 6 - July 24
The Ontario PPE Collective is a group in the Greater Toronto Area dedicated to creating and donating personal protective equipment (PPE) to Ontario’s front-line health care workers. We are continuously looking to engage our local communities to join the fight against COVID-19 and do what we can to keep health care workers safe. Since being founded in April 2020, we have received a great volume of requests for PPE and have produced and donated over 2400 face shields thanks to the work of volunteers and generosity of donors.
This is where we would like you to get involved with our cause! Run for the Front Line is a virtual race that anyone can participate in to help us raise funds to continue our mission of supporting front-line healthcare workers battling COVID-19. Your participation would directly fund the creation of about 10 face shields that would allow front-line workers to safely continue that battle!
Our race has a variety of distances for participants to choose from in any way that you feel comfortable doing so! Feel free to walk, run, use a treadmill, complete the distance over multiple days, the choice is yours. All types of support in our mission are welcome and greatly appreciated! Also, send us pictures of how you participate to our social media accounts for a chance to be featured!
Using the same technology that we use to create the PPE, we will create custom medals for all participants to have as a token of our appreciation for participating in our event.
Thank you for taking the time to consider our event. For more information about the Ontario PPE Collective you can visit our website: https://ontarioppe.com/
