My Story…

Hello!


On Saturday, June 27, I will be participating in the Pride & Remembrance Run, and raising money for 2SLGBTQ+ organizations. I've supported friends and family who've done this run in the past, but this is my first year as a participant. It's my way of honouring my friends and former colleagues in the community, and I'm thinking of my young family members who are new to the community.

Unlike the ill-fated Earth Day event I planned on running with Kelly roughly 17 years ago*, I have actually been preparing for this endeavour. Take that, younger and more fit version of myself! You overconfident thirty-something fool!

Donations are appreciated, but never expected. 

* Sadly, Mr. Hicks was unable to participate in the 2009 Earth Day Run, due to exercise-induced asthma and lower-body injuries sustained in the sole training session undertaken a week before the race. 

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!
