This Sunday, Collingwood is standing Side By Side for CGU’s Move In May.
A host of celebrities and football stars will join forces to run Melbourne’s Botanical Gardens Tan Track to help demonstrate that that there is no place for discrimination against the LGBTIQ community in sport or society in general.
The run has been generated by Stand Up Events’ Angie Greene, the daughter of former St Kilda and Hawthorn champion Russell Greene.
Grenee launched the not-for-profit Stand Up Events to help challenge discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) community in sport.

Premiership Magpie Tyson Goldsack is a proud ambassador for Move In May, and will be one of the many who walk or run The Tan in support of Stand Up Events.
“We know that inequality exists within our Australian sporting culture,” said Greene.
“CGU’s Move in May is about coming together and demonstrating the significant amount of support that exists in our community for the important message of equality.”
“When we put our runners on for CGU’s Move In May we are saying there is zero room for discrimination. We are saying there is zero room for anything other than acceptance for diversity. And we are saying there is zero room for exclusion.
“This is because CGU’s Move In May is about people who are standing up and saying I will fight against LGBTIQ discrimination in sport and society and I will proudly walk or run alongside our CGU’s Move In May Ambassadors and the greater community – rainbow or otherwise - to fight the fight,” said Greene.
CGU’s Move in May will be held on Sunday, 22 May 2016 and is expected to attract more than 5000 participants. The event will be held in Melbourne, around Botanical Gardens. Tickets are available at www.standupevents.com.au
