Strides for Pride 2025

I’m committing to 40 minutes of movement a day during June and July to raise awareness and support LGBT+ youth at Covenant House. Why am I doing this? Many LGBTQ+ adults I’ve talked to were kicked out of their parents houses or ended up on the streets when they aged out of the foster system. Children should be given love and support. I’m taking a few small steps over the next few weeks and I hope you’ll join me. No act is too small: cheering me or others on, watching streams, donations of any amount or sharing posts.

Donation Incentives

I have special donation incentives I haven’t made available before! You could collect an original sketch or drawing from my secret art stash of work I’ve created, score a custom portrait and more. You can also elect to donate without accepting an incentive.

Any amount: Thank you & desktop wallpaper

Enjoy a fun desktop wall paper I created specially for this event. Phone background included too!
