My Story…
π³οΈβπβ¨ Hi everyone β I'm Mandeep Singh! β¨π³οΈβπ
You might know me from different walks of life β and if you do, youβve probably heard me passionately talk about running. πββοΈπ¬ Well, today I want to share a little more of that story.Β
After two wonderful years of running the Pride & Remembrance Run, Iβm beyond excited to return this year as an ambassador! πββοΈπ
I was an avid runner back in high school, but like so many others, the pandemic put my passion on pause. When I moved to Canada for college, I was lucky enough to find the Queer Run Club β a vibrant, supportive space that helped me reconnect with running and rediscover the joy of moving alongside an incredible community. π₯Ήπ
As a student leader and advocate for 2SLGBTQIA+ safe spaces on campus, events like the Pride Run became more than just about crossing a finish line β they became about finding belonging, celebrating identity, and running with pride. πβ¨
This year, I'm running not only for myself, but for every new runner searching for that same welcoming space I once needed. π«Ά Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or cheering from the sidelines, your support means the world.
β¨ Funds raised through the Pride & Remembrance Run support incredible organizations doing life-changing work, including Sherbourne Health, providing holistic care and outreach for marginalized communities; Sunshine Centres for Seniors, reducing isolation and fostering connection for older adults; the Transition-Related Surgery (TRS) Program at Womenβs College Hospital Foundation, advancing gender-affirming care; and of course, the Pride & Remembrance Foundation, uplifting and empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ communities year-round. πΈπ³οΈββ§οΈ
Any amount, big or small, makes a difference and helps me reach my fundraising goal! π Plus, donations of $25 or more receive a tax receipt β and hey, who doesnβt love a good tax receipt? ππβ¨
Please consider donating to my page β together we can make a difference! π
Description
Hi friends!
I’m participating in the pride & remembrance run!
Support and sponsorships for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and events are taking a hit from increasing anti-2SLGBTQ+ sentiment. The pride & remembrance run is dedicated to lifting up and raising funds for important 2SLGBTQ+ programs in the GTA.
You can help me support them as I raise funds this year for 4 incredible non-profit organizations that are doing amazing work in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries for this year’s run are: Sherbourne Health Centre, Sunshine Centres for Seniors, the Women's College Hospital Foundation, and the Pride and Remembrance Foundation.
You can find out more about these incredible organizations here.
It’s fast and easy to donate, and tax receipts will be issued for every donation over $20. Every donation matters, as we try to reach our goal of raising $325,000 this year! The projects and initiatives that these organizations 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 and remember your why!
