  14. “For Canadian grandmothers, Stride is a wonderful moment to stand – and walk – in solidarity with African grandmothers. Every step we take honours their courage and their extraordinary resolve in the face of the AIDS pandemic. My grandmothers group does a lot of creative fundraising, but Stride brings us together in a unique way – we feel deeply connected to our African sisters and to one another.” – Elizabeth, Toronto We hope you will join us.
