Toronto, Ontario, Canada was the site of Adrian Bradbury and Kieran Hayward’s original 31-day GuluWalk in July of 2005. In October 2005 over 1,000 people endured chilly temperatures and a steady downpour to venture 11 kilometers into the downtown core as part of the first-ever global show of support for the children of northern Uganda. Last year, the weather cooperated, the advocacy voice was stronger, the event swelled to over 2,500 people and continues to grow!
