Day 3 of the Bike Rally and we’re Kingston bound, only 51 kms away. It’s our shortest day, but our most visible as we are dressed in red. The colour symbolizing the HIV/AIDS movement. We are deliberately loud, & visible. Breaking down stigma everywhere we roll. #F4LBR #StopAIDS

Big news: Freddie is partnering with the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation (@TPWA)! Together, we’re launching a first-of-its-kind model for HIV care in Canada by combining trusted community support with seamless in-person and virtual services. This is what community-driven care looks like! Freddie and PWA are expanding access to HIV care in Toronto and beyond, making care more connected, inclusive, and sustainable. The future of HIV care is here, and it starts with partnership. Everyone deserves access to care that meets them where they are!

Another @F4LBR in the books to support @TPWA, @ACCMTL & Trellis. We raised $1.5M+ to help those in our communities living with #HIV & #AIDS. It was wet. It was challenging. It was incredibly memorable & rewarding. Already registered for 2025 & the magic that’s in store.

🚨 Last year OPP laid over 10000 DUI charges, highest since 2004. Ford has quietly reduced thousands of criminal drunk driving charges to highway traffic violations. Now he’s blowing $225M to speed up booze sales in corner stores, markets & gas stations. What could go wrong? 👀

Sharing your HIV status is your decision and it shouldn't happen without consent. "People living with HIV need to know that they have recourse when their data rights are breached, and to prevent further discrimination," our Policy Manager @adam_f23 said. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinic…
