How can you ignore the 2013 Weekend to End Women’s Cancers in Toronto when thousands march for the cure right through your neighbourhood?
I could not ignore it; so I took a few photographs of people walking in the rain through Little India in Toronto on Sept. 7, 2013.

A Wet Weekend Walk in 2013
This 2-day fund-raising event to support the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre has had gorgeous weather in some previous years. I distinctly remember running west on Queen’s Quay some years ago, only to realize that thousands of women wearing pink and white were walking towards me. It was a beautiful day for me to head for the other sidewalk and let that year’s March to End Women’s Cancers use the south sidewalk.
As you can tell from my blurry photograph, umbrellas and light raincoats were needed on Saturday Sept. 7, 2013. This group passed the Gerard Ashdale Library and the Coxwell India Bazaar’s cheering station on this wet weekend for a long walk.
A Long-Awaited Surprise for Little India and Other Toronto Neighbourhoods
Although I have never participated, my memory says that the March to End Women’s Cancers used to go from Coronation Park, just east of the Canadian National Exhibition, and mainly head north-west to Downsview Park on Saturday. After sleeping al fresco in Downsview Park, the participants would return south and downhill again to Coronation Park beside Lake Ontario.

This year the route is quite different. Not only do they walk mainly in southern parts of Toronto, they start and end both days at the Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto.
Although I assume they’ve always provided good signage to guide the marchers, it’s important that they could follow clear and bright signs like this one. You can see the other photos I took in “A Wet 2013 Weekend to End Women’s Cancer“, which includes a writing tip explaining why I didn’t let my readers plan to participate in this Cancer March ahead of time.
About the March to End Women’s Cancers in Toronto
The March to End Women’s Cancers is one of many annual events in Toronto that are staged to raise money for medical research or treatment. Two significant facts about this Cancer March are that each participant must raise some $2,000 for the cause (for the 2013 event), and that it takes two days and a total of 60Km of walking.
Coming in the second weekend of September, I’d mark this as the first of many annual autumn Toronto events that raise money for worthy causes.
I’m almost ashamed that most charity running events are so brief and cost so little to enter. The “Toronto Challenge 5Km Run” ranked #5 in my June “8 Fun or Charity Fitness Events in Toronto on June 9, 2013“. Every marathon is only 42.2Km in distance; for an idea of how little time it can take to run even for exceptional elder statesmen of the sport, see my “Brief Results of the 2012 Toronto Waterfront Marathon“. Either annual Toronto event is open to anyone with an entry fee that ranges from about $20 to under $100.
