Ten years of fundraising teaches you how to get better and better, as it has for Barry Samuel’s InsideOut’s Spring Into Action Walk & Run for diabetes.
Since the Leaside event started it has raised a total of $60,000. This year, the 10th anniversary, with the promotional help of our local MPP, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, and Toronto Mayor John Tory, the goal is $75,000.
The walk and run, plus activities for kids and adults, like music, a marketplace and photo booth, will be held Saturday, May 2, starting at 9 a.m., at Wilket Creek Park.
