Hello and welcome to my Friends for Life Bike Rally page!

I am very excited to be training for my first Friends for Life Bike Rally. I will be participating in the 600 kilometer ride from Toronto to Montreal from August 4 to 9, 2024.

This will be my longest ride ever by a wide margin and I'm looking forward to getting ready for it over the next several months. I'll be cross-training in the pool and on cross-country ski trails and moving onto long training rides in the Ottawa-Gatineau region as the weather warms up.

All of my fundraising efforts will be in support of the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation (PWA). PWA was founded in 1987 at the height of the AIDS crisis and continues to support thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS annually through food programs, access to medications and healthcare, and facilitating access to housing, employment, and disability services in the community.

The Bike Rally is an opportunity for me to give back to the LGBTQ community and everyone affected by HIV/AIDS as I go about the often solitary endeavour of preparing for my PhD comprehensive exams next September.

You can support my fundraising efforts by making a secure online donation. I hope you will join me in supporting this important cause!
