Help Bill raise money

For participating in 2026 pride & remembrance run

My Story…

Toronto’s 30th Pride & Remembrance Run marks my tenth year participating in this incredible event.

This year, I’ll once again be running in memory of my friends Don King, Craig Milner, and Peter Veneman — all gone far too soon — to honour their memory and ensure they are included in the festivities.

I’m also fundraising in support of this year’s beneficiary organizations, which do extraordinary work for the 2SLGBTQ+ community across the Greater Toronto Area: Canvas Programs, The 519, Casey House, and the Pride & Remembrance Foundation.

THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated! If you haven’t yet and are able to do so, a contribution of any amount will help me support these remarkable organizations and the vital work they do. Your generosity and encouragement mean a lot and are sincerely appreciated.

Happy Pride! 🌈

Description

The pride & remembrance run is dedicated to lifting up and raising funds for important 2SLGBTQ+ programs in the GTA.  

These 4 incredible non-profit organizations are doing amazing work in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries for this year’s run are: the 519, Casey House, Canvas Programs, 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 $350,000 this year! The projects and initiatives that these organizations are developing will make a difference to so many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and the community would be so grateful for your donation.

Thanks again for your support and run it forward!
