December 1 marks World AIDS Day, and Peloton has partnered with the non-profit organization (RED) to observe the occasion with a very special class.
Comedian and actress Phoebe Robinson joined Peloton instructor Jeffrey McEachern for a 30 minute World AIDS Day Run that premiered on December 1 at 8:30am ET.
Jeffrey shared a reflection upon the class via Instagram prior to the class being made available:
Tomorrow is World Aids Day and I am beyond grateful that @onepeloton I get to use my platform to shine a light on this cause that is near and dear to my heart.
The first World AIDS Day took place in 1988, providing a platform to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS and honor the lives affected by the epidemic. This year marks the 35th commemoration of this important day.
Thank you @dopequeenpheebs for being part of this moment and thank you for all the work that you do and for using your light to shine on this cause.
Thank you @red for all the amazing work your team is doing since 2006 to fight AIDS, working and collaborating with the world’s most iconic brands and people to create products and experiences that raise money, heat, and urgency for the fight to end AIDS.
Join this class and be part of the change ❤️
Love always,
Jeffrey
