2012 Pride and Remembrance Run

Keith, Cathy, Lisa and Katie

The 2012 Pride and Remembrance Run has come and gone. For 5 years prior, I ran the event in support of a local LGBT not-for-profit charity, but this year I made the decision to document the actions of others. It was definitely a hot morning, but the competitors were in a jovial mood.

Out of all the organized runs in Toronto, The Pride and Remembrance Run is my favourite. There’s a joyous spirit that hovers over the event, as the LGBT community comes together in solidarity to raise money for worthy causes while remembering those who have lost their lives to HIV and AIDS.

I love Toronto, but most importantly, I love Torontonians. No where in the world can you find such generous people. I’m bias I know, so just roll your eyes and shut up!

Happy Pride.
