Ling estimated the Pride WODs have raised more than $25,000 since its inception. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Ling, who was born Hong Kong and came to the U.S. as a child, said he was inspired to rally behind Attic because he sees his experiences as an immigrant mirrored in the discrimination against LGBTQ+ youths. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe [Novem] community feels that the young age is most important \u2026 that is where the struggles are when it comes to being oppressed \u2014 kids can be very, very cruel,\u201d he said. \u201cIf they don\u2019t have that support, it just builds.\u201d <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Ling has also committed this year to donate $1 for every calorie he burns riding a conditioning bike.
