My Story…
This is my 28th participated Pride Run. I cheered at the Finish Line 30 years ago as my partner crossed at the first run. I joined in on the second. Surrounded by such strength, joy, and the run ran counterpart to everything our community was being portrayed: Strong, Vibrant, Purposeful, Healthy, and Caring through Fundraising.
Unseen, so many of us imagined so very many passed friends alongside us, running with grace.
But we all knew more then most: each breath, each step is a gift.
Join me in supporting the Pride and Remembrance Run. The beneficiaries are incredible.
The Toronto Pride Run has donated over a million dollars to every aspect of our community.
This year I am dedicating my run to my Mum. She was a dedicated runner and spent years advocating that the Lutheran church she attended become Affirming Congregations for LGBTQ+ people.
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!
