2025 Edition: Walk the Path Walkathon
About the Event
More than just a walk, the Walk the Path Walkathon raises critical funds to support men’s health initiatives, from pop-up PSA testing clinics to monthly support groups and scholarships for future healthcare leaders at Toronto Metropolitan University and the University of Toronto.
While the in-person event has ended, the spirit of the walk lives on through your continued support.
Get involved. Make a difference
Together, we can empower, educate, and ensure no one walks this journey alone.
The Walk Was Just the Beginning
Even though we crossed the finish line on June 7, the work isn’t over. Join us in reaching our campaign goal by donating today. Every dollar makes a difference.
