We Ride to Help Those Who Need Our Help

At the beginning of June I will start a 7-day journey to help make a difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.  

For the fourth time, I'm putting my butt on a bike for the AIDS/LifeCycle.  It's a 7-day, 545 mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to help raise awareness and financial support for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, a non-profit, community based organization that is committed to ending the human suffering caused by HIV and AIDS.  Established in 1982, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation is one of the oldest and largest community-based AIDS service organizations in the US.  Their mission is to end the pandemic and human suffering caused by HIV.  

The Foundation provides vital services and programs designed to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS and to reduce the number of new infections that occur each year.  The organization continues to be a leader in educating at-risk communities about HIV/AIDS prevention and in connecting thousands of people to the critical information they need to make informed decisions about HIV-related risk and health.

The Foundation advocates at the federal, state and local levels to ensure that hundreds of thousands of people affected by HIV and AIDS have access to care, treatment, housing and prevention services, and that they benefit from related research efforts.

They have the tough job.  I have the slightly easier job of bike riding about 75 miles a day for a full week.  But I really need your help and assistance.  Please join me and let's make a difference.  Please consider contributing as much as you can to support the great work of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and to help bring an end to HIV and AIDS.  Each and every dollar helps.  Your contributions are tax deductable.
