Youth's Lives Every Day
Our community is a part of making the world a better and safer place for LGBTQ+ young people. Over the past year, you have walked tens of miles with your pet, shared community rides with your friends for Pride month, and contributed directly to our life-saving mission. We commit to being the supportive adults LGBTQ+ young people can turn to, 24/7 and invite you to end 2024 with the same commitment by joining our 40 Meaningful Miles Facebook Challenge!
This virtual fundraising opportunity is meant to be a choose-your-own-adventure challenge! During this time, you’ll commit to 40 Meaningful Miles — however it feels best to you to move — and inspire others to raise funds that will support our mission of ending suicide among LGBTQ+ young people. Join the Facebook group and start fundraising now! You can officially log your miles on December 1 until the end of the month. Be the one who creates a more supportive world for young people.
