Help Josh raise money

Okay, so full disclosure, I'm not really a runner (unless the subway's pulling in). However, I AM very passionate about my community, happy to join my wonderful colleagues as part of the University of Toronto Rainbow Runners, and excited to raise some money and take a very long, brisk walk in support the amazing work of the Pride and Remembrance Foundation.

Although I've financially supported this event for years, this is my first time participating - namely because it's not at some ungodly hour in the morning on the Saturday of Pride (yes, I know it's usually at 10 a.m., but we're normally partying 'til sunrise, okay kween?). Anyway, I'm looking forward to participating and thank you all for your generous contributions!

As always, every dollar counts. Although there's a $500 button at the top of this page (#aggressive), if you've got $5 and want to contribute, I'd be very grateful and it would put a smile on my face.

Oh yeah, and if y'all get me over $500, we can definitely discuss some stretch goals. Gotta keep this interesting, right?
