Race with Hesperus Village

Every fall since 2019, Hesperus Village has participated in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. The Marathon is our biggest fundraiser each year and gives participants the opportunity to celebrate our community while raising vital funds for Hesperus. Donate to our team or sign up to join us!

“Volunteering at Hesperus gives structure, meaning and a sense of accomplishment to my days. It helped me feel part of the community after moving here from Kitchener.”
