Of the Wellness Team anyway. Well I'm the Co-Lead and it's awesome! Welcome to this year's Friends for Life Bike Rally page!

 

This is my 7th year involved in the rally. I've cycled the whole 600km. I've been here for the shorter Covid versions. Last year I jumped into crew and this year I'm leading it! I support this event and this community because it welcomes difference. It encourages vulnerability and authenticity. Most importantly being a part of it builds unity and collective action. Cycling also builds a great butt!

The long and short of it is that the world is not so great right now and the F4LBR is my way of bringing some light to one small corner of our existence in it. 

 

Here are a few ways you can help me and the F4LBR community:

 

This event is important to me as a gay man because the money raised goes to help people living with HIV/AIDS. Despite major advances around HIV the virus and the people who have it remain wildly stigmatized. As the economy has deteriorated so have the services that assist people living with HIV. People who need food, wellness care, peer support or just to be in a place that is welcoming and safe for them. The the People with AIDS Foundation and the F4LBR the funds raised make a huge difference for local people living with HIV.

 

So, help us make this corner of the world just a little bit brighter. Donate today!
