30th Annual Gloucester Pride Stride
On Sunday I was pleased to support the
30th annual Gloucester Pride Stride, a community- wide event that
facilitates fundraising for a host of participating non-profit organizations
that collect pledges for the miles walked by their volunteers on the day of the
event.
This year’s milestone walk was marked by
sunny skies, a robust and enthusiastic crowd, and overwhelming community
spirit. I was able to join with Pride Stride Organizers for the count-down that
started the event, and to once again host a water stop to keep walkers (and
their dogs in some cases) fully hydrated. A special thanks to Mike Dougherty, Joe
Tofalo, and Peter Solomon for helping with the water stop, and to Joann Marks
for organizing our efforts.
Also, a hearty thanks to President
Melissa Cox and her entire team for another successful Pride Stride, and keeping
the spirit of this great Gloucester tradition alive.
Posted here are a few photos from Sunday’s
walk.
