My Story…
HAPPY PRIDE!
For the third year in a row, I am participating in the pride & remembrance run here in Toronto.
The pride & remembrance run is a 5km fundraising run/walk organized and operated by the philanthropic and athletic-oriented Pride and Remembrance Association. The Pride and Remembrance Association is a not for profit volunteer-run organization dedicated to supporting Toronto's 2SLGBTQ+ community.
The pride & remembrance run is the only annual athletic event during Toronto's Pride Week, promoting and fostering community spirit, goodwill, volunteerism, and sportsmanship in the Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ community.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the pride & remembrance run!!!
Founded in 1996 in Toronto, Canada, the 5km run and 3km walk is the largest, long running and most fun pride run in Canada.
Each year the Pride and Remembrance Association selects and supports charities focused on providing youth, health/wellness, and cultural support services to the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries receive 100% of the charitable pledges raised by run participants. Since its beginning, runners have raised over $3.7 million to support these beneficiaries. This year, funds will be distributed between CANVAS Arts Action Programs (Canvas Programs); Casey House; The 519 and The Pride and Remembrance Foundation.
If you are able, I would so appreciate your support in my fundraising efforts for this incredibly important cause.
My goal this year is to raise over $600.
I understand the difficulties of these times for so many of us, so as always, thank you for whatever form of support you are able to offer.
MUCH LOVE!
