Trevor Project’s 45 mile challenge

Walking for LGBTQIA+ young people!

I am participating in the 45 Mile Outdoor Challenge in March to support The Trevor Project’s mission of ending suicide among LGBTQIA+ young people ages 13-24. (I’ve walked 9.61 miles; 35.39 to go.)

You can participate by donating to my fundraiser (or by signing up to walk yourself). Every dollar you give and every step will go toward affirming the worth of our LGBTQIA+ friends, family and colleagues. The Trevor Project does incredible work to end suicide among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people.

Tomorrow, I wear purple

I will not be alone.

Millions will wear purple on Spirit Day in a stand against bullying and to show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. Observed annually since 2010, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, and public figures wear purple, which symbolizes ‘spirit’ on the rainbow flag.

Getting involved is easy: Wear purple or go purple online on October 17th and help create a world in which LGBT youth are celebrated and accepted for who they are. Learn more.

See you, in purple, along the Trail.

A morning thought on age

As I prepare for the day,
working through pains and aches,
it occurs to me that
I am either
too young to be this old
or
too old to feel this young.
