Le skieur a parcouru San Francisco – Los Angeles en vĂ©lo en vue de rĂ©colter des fonds pour la lutte contre le sida. Et comme en tĂ©moignent les photos qu’il a postĂ©es, il a donnĂ© de sa personne dans tous les sens du terme !

Gus Kenworthy a troqué ses après-ski pour une tenue de cycliste très sexy. Le skieur américain ouvertement gay vient de participer au AIDS/LifeCycle. Cette course de vélo permet de récolter des fonds pour soutenir les actions de lutte contre le sida de la San Francisco AIDS Fondation et du Centre LGBT de Los Angeles.

Pendant sept jours, Gus a ainsi pédalé sec avec son équipe et fait preuve de beaucoup d’endurance pour parcourir les 877 kilomètres qui séparent San Francisco de Los Angeles. Le sportif a également donné de sa personne pour faire des appels aux dons. Avant le début de la course, il avait fait monter la température en publiant sur son compte Twitter des photos très suggestives. Et pendant l’épreuve, on a pu se délecter de nombreuses photos qui le mettaient bien valeur.

Stratégie payante puisqu’avec 246 136,87 dollars, il est en tête des donateurs ! Au total, ce sont plus de 16 millions de dollars qui ont été récoltés. La seizième édition de AIDS / LifeCycle aura lieu du 31 mai au 6 juin 2020.

It's hard to put into words what this past week has meant to me but it was quite a journey, both physically and emotionally. By the end of day two I was questioning why I ever even signed up. I was tired, my legs ached, I was bored out of my mind and all I wanted was for the ride to end. Throughout the week things started to shift though and as we got closer and closer to Los Angeles I began to feel sad that it was coming to an end. The people I met along the way were some of the sweetest, most patient and most generous that I've ever known. Everyone had their own story behind partaking – but on night 6, during a seaside candle-lit vigil commemorating the lives we lost to the AIDS epidemic, it became very clear to me the real reason and importance of our participation. I am so thankful to have been a part of this year's ride and I'm already looking forward to next year's (even if my ass isn't). I pledged to raise $1,000,000 for the cause and although I didn't complete that goal I'm going to participate every year until that dream is realized. If anybody is considering riding next year, I genuinely encourage you to do so. For this year's ALC I've currently raised over $243,000 (although there are still donations that I'm expecting and my page is still open for any of you who want to help!). My efforts exceeded the previous highest fundraiser more than threefold and I am so incredibly thankful to each and every one of you who contributed to that. Whether you donated, posted, shared, commented, bought a product or simply rooted me on, I can't express my gratitude and appreciation enough. I couldn't have done this without you all! I also want to give a special thank you to all the people in all the tiny towns along the route who stood outside with signs and balloons, snacks and music – y'all were truly a sight for sore eyes every single time. ❤️
