Story

Over the course of June, I will be climbing the equivalent of Mount Kilimanjaro on the StairMaster - AKA my arch nemesis at the gym. This works out to be 38,680 steps/2,578 flights of stairs! 

I've set myself this challenge as part of a wonderful group of fellow LGBTQ+ people and allies from the games industry raising money for the atk this Pride Month <3 

Please donate if you can or just cheer me on, I (and my legs) will need the support! 

About atk:

Lots of young people come out as LGBTQ+ to their families and are embraced and supported. But that’s not always the case. Coming out, or being outed as LGBTQ+ can lead to young people being made homeless. This is the reality for 77% of the young people akt supports. Sometimes families are unaccepting and abusive. The locks changed. Possessions destroyed. akt exists to support these young people and can offer safety and hope in an open and accepting environment. We help with housing and also to help them celebrate their identity.
