I am so excited to be part of the 2026 Friends for Life Bike Rally in support of people living with HIV/AIDS. I love cycling and for me this a wonderful way to put the time I spend on my bike towards a great cause. On last year's ride, listening to impact stories and meeting people who live with HIV/AIDS inspired me to complete the ride one more time. I hope you'll help support my fundraising efforts with a donation.
The Friends for Life Bike Rally is an annual 6 day ride (August 2nd to 7th) from Toronto to Montreal. It is the only volunteer-led ride, that brings people together for an inclusive and supportive challenge that inspires much-needed help for people living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and Montréal.
While great strides have been made in treatment and prevention, the virus continues to impact thousands across Canada and remains a global public health issue.
Nearly five people are infected with HIV each day in this country. Compounding the crisis, stigma, housing insecurity, rising cost-of-living and limited access to care continue to affect those living with HIV/AIDS – particularly vulnerable and newcomer populations. Consequently, they face social isolation, substance use challenges, barriers to settling in Canada, and much more.
