FFBLB 2024
Hi!
This year will be the third year that I've ridden with a brilliant team of men and women from Toronto to Montreal and I could really use your support! This is a 6-day (3-8 Aug), 600km charity ride in support of the organizations in Ontario and Quebec supporting people living with HIV/AIDS (see more below). Thanks to the generosity that I have received over the last two year, I have no doubt that I can raise the entrance fee of $3,000 this year, but I can't do it without your help.
Here are a few ways you can get involved:
- Donate to my page to help me reach my fundraising goal
- Join the Friends for Life Bike Rally and create your own fundraising page!
- Cheer me on, either live or by social media
I hope you'll join me at the Friends for Life Bike Rally and help support my fundraising efforts with a donation.
This challenging yet motivating event raises money to help people who need food, wellness care, peer support or just to be in a place that is welcoming and safe for them. And they really need our help. The communities that are affected by HIV / AIDs in Canada are all of our communities and not those limited to just a narrow demographic (for example, ~40% of the new diagnoses in Canada were after exposure to heterosexual contact; https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/hiv-infection-rates-canada-1.7397342). Across these provinces people are struggling with an illness that although is manageable (nowadays they have better longevity than, say, people with diabetes), they still suffer terribly from stigma and ostracizing. There are programs in place to help with their mental and physical well-being (such as PWA in Toronto, Trellis in Kingston and ACCM in Montreal) and we are trying to raise money to help these places provide their valuable service.
You can help support me by making a secure online donation.
I hope you can join me in supporting this great cause!
