Help McLean raise money

For participating in 2025 pride & remembrance run

My Story…

Please contribute if you can to this year's fundraising campaign!  In return for your donation, you will get a tax receipt, and I promise to run 5 km as fast as I can.  ;)

One of this year's beneficiaries is very close to my heart: Sherbourne Health. Without my AMAZING family doctor at Sherbourne's 2SLGBTQ health program, I would never have found running... which has changed my life immeasurably for the better.  My doctor insisted that I must increase my vigorous exercise -- not for my physical health, but for my mental health.  I had been asking for anxiety medication, but my doctor wanted me to rely on natural endorphins first.  The physical benefits of exercise were a welcome side-effect.  She pushed me very hard to form this new habit, and wouldn't let me make excuses.  That kind of care is rare to find.  I am SO GRATEFUL to my doctor and to Sherbourne Health who made this positive change possible.  Everyone deserves such excellent health care!  Please help me support the critically important programming at Sherbourne Health, and donate today.  Thank you! 

Ps. Please feel free to ask me about this anytime, I am happy to talk about it!  

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!
