A MESSAGE FROM Rafael
I am so excited to run alongside my fellow trans athletes as part of Point of Pride’s charity team in the LA Marathon.
Point of Pride is a non-profit that provides gender-affirming care for trans people who cannot otherwise access it. Their work is very close to my heart: Being able to receive gender-affirming care has changed and saved my life.
Founded in 2016, Point of Pride has awarded $4,420,000 in financial aid and provided gender-affirming support to 30,000 people in all 50 states and 127 countries and counting.
Your donation can help them continue their important work in times that are difficult for many trans and nonbinary people.
