<div>Hello friends and family,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m raising funds for a truly inspiring young leader: <strong>Lasarus Ndiilenga</strong>, a remarkable HIV advocate and educator, whom I met several years ago at a global HIV conference in Amsterdam and saw again just last month in Namibia. He’s brilliant, trustworthy, driven, and doing incredible work to teach about U=U and uplift his community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On June 9th, Lasarus and a small group of youth advocates will ride 720 km across Namibia—from Windhoek to Swakopmund and back—on solar-powered e-bikes to dismantle HIV stigma, demand access to long-acting HIV treatment and prevention, and to spotlight the link between HIV justice and climate justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✊ Why They're Riding
</div>
<div>Namibia’s young people living with HIV are facing barriers to leading full lives, such as HIV stigma and other circumstances that make life with HIV and adherence to daily medication a challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’re riding to say: Enough.
</div>
<div>Every young person deserves dignity, choices in care, and a real chance to thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’re also riding for the planet. With zero-emission bikes and school visits along the way, they’re weaving together two critical fights—HIV equity and climate justice—because the future must be healthy, just, and green.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Goal: $2,000
</div>
<div>This will fund Leg 1 of a 3-part, youth-led national campaign for access and equity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ride Details:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>5 youth riders
</li>
<li>720 km (June 9–22, 2025)

</li>
<li>Safer sex kits, U=U education, school visits
</li>
<li>U=U candlelight memorial on the beach in Swakopmund
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve already raised $750 (from Prevention Access Campaign and me) toward the goal of $2,000. Just $1,250 to go!
</div>
<div><br />
