Billyard is at it again!
Hi!
Last year I signed up to the Friends For Life Bike Rally primarily because it was a chance to challenge my bicycling experience, and happened to support a great cause. Much to my surprise, that motivation was flipped on its head. I rode with a brilliant team who shared life experiences, took me under their wing, and made me feel like I was part of a new family. Our shared experience created a bond that I was not expecting.
I'm therefore doing the ride again this year, and I need your support! This is a 6-day (4-9 Aug), 600km ride from Toronto to Montreal in support of the organizations in Ontario and Quebec supporting people living with HIV/AIDS (see more below). I was given a break last year as a first time rider to only raise $1950, recurring riders must raise $3,000! Thanks to the generosity of my supporters last year, I have no doubt that I can raise this amount this year, but I do need 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 is not limited to a narrow demographic, and live in all of our communities. 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!
