My Story…
In 2021, I joined Queer Run Club because I saw MK posting about it. At the time, there were about 10 people. It was my first time showing up as a queer person. By arriving to a run club with queer in the title, I said “I’m here and I’m queer” for the first time.
Consequently, Queer Run Club — and running overall— has been a huge part of my coming out journey. Now I want to pay it forward by running with the club that started it all for me, and donating to charities that support 2SLGBTQIA+ folx. Words cannot describe how important visibility and safety are for queer folx. A safe and visible queer group (that I happen to run with) has been instrumental in my journey. This is my way to be a part of someone else’s.
Description
Hi friends!
I’m participating in the pride & remembrance run, and I’m so excited to run with pride!
I need your support, as the run is raising funds for 6 incredible non-profit organizations that are doing amazing work in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries for this year’s run are: AIDS Committee of Toronto, Fife House, Gilbert Centre, HQ Toronto, Rainbow Railroad, and the Pride and Remembrance Foundation.
It’s fast and easy to donate, and tax receipts will be issued for every gift over $20. Every donation matters, as we try to reach our goal of raising $250,000 this year! The projects and initiatives that these non-profits are developing will make a difference to so many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and I would be so grateful for your donation.
Thanks again for your support as we have another fun, fast and fab! run this summer!
