In 100 days, we will be returning to the start line of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon with Team Nellie’s! For the past two years, we have had the privilege of running and walking with dedicated, passionate, strong women and men in the marathon, half-marathon, and 5k challenges and we look forward to returning this Sunday October 20th.

Our cumulative fundraising total from this event, stands at $28,500 and this year we’d like to break through the $50,000 mark by raising $20,000! We know you can do it! Last year, 80% of our team members reached or surpassed their $250 fundraising goal, and 6 runners raised over $1000 each. With an easy-to-use online donations system and support from Nellie’s fundraising team, we’ll make sure you reach your fundraising goal and have fun doing it.

100% of the funds you raise will go to support the many programs and services we offer at Nellie’s. From our Summer Kids Leadership Camp to our Women Experiencing Abuse and Violence Support Group, your fundraising dollars will go straight into the work we do to support and empower women and children leaving situations of violence and abuse.

Since 1973, we have had the honour of helping to rebuild the lives of over 15,000 women and children. On Sunday October 20th, we invite you to come out and show your strength, share your courage, prove your determination, and inspire hope in the belief that every woman and child has the right to live a life that is free from violence and oppression. Challenge yourself to a marathon, half-marathon, or 5k race, and join our team as we run, walk, and wheel to end violence against women.
