For participating in 2026 pride & remembrance run

My Story…

I'm excited to participate in my first Pride & Remembrance Run. I started running 3 years ago at 62 and have participated in 5k and 10k races since then.  The runs have all supported great charities but this run hits close to home.  When my son came out many years ago, I didn’t initially understand the importance of being  2SLGBTQ+ beyond identity and self-expression.  My daughter has since also come out as queer, and it's been a privilege to see my kids grow and know themselves better over time.  Over the years, I have seen the ways that my childrens' identities impact their lived experiences in this world, from how they access essential services like housing and healthcare, to how they build community with partners, friends and their broader social circles.  I’m grateful for the opportunity to support their community and honoured to be running as an ally.

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!
