I'm Riding to End AIDS

To All of You Who Have Been Kind Enough to Visit My Homepage -

From June 1-7, 2008, I'm bicycling in my 2nd AIDS/LifeCycle. It's a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to help make a difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.

When I did the AIDS/LifeCycle ride 2 years ago, I thought what a great way to raise a lot of money for a good cause and get in great shape at the same time. It was an amazing journey for me, physically and mentally. Along the ride, I kept hearing stories of people on the ride that were personally affected by HIV & AIDS. Mothers & fathers who lost their sons to AIDS and wanted to do something not only in their son's memory, but to end the disease that ended their son's life. Brothers & sisters who had lost their only sibling to AIDS. Friends who lost a dear friend. And then there were people like me who, at the time, were not personally affected by HIV and AIDS, but wanted do something to help.

In the 2 years that have passed, HIV and AIDS have become more personal for me. Not only have I heard more and more stories of friends of friends becoming HIV positive, but I've had several close friends of my own become HIV positive. So this year, when I get on my bike, I am riding for them. I want to raise not only money but raise awareness and education on HIV and AIDS that I feel is still so very much needed today.

Please help me support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation by giving what you can. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of anything you can give.

Thank you!!!
Kevin

You will be uppermost in our thoughts and prayers during the early days of June when you join other AIDS/LifeCycle participants. I LOVE YOU!

Bill Delaney (4/09/08 1:31PM): Great show Kevin! I am so impressed that you were actually a true stepdance champion. Now I expect to see you dancing in the talent show on Day 5! No excuses!

Linda (4/08/08 3:53PM): You are my favorite hot mess. May this be your best ride yet.

Chris (3/28/08 6:50PM): Sorry I wasn't able to make the SF event but I was there in spirit. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS. Mr. 70.

Gary Uhouse (3/18/08 10:41PM): Kevin is a wonderful and generous man. Over the past several months I have come to know him as a close friend and I have seen how ambitious he has become to raise money for this important cause. The training he has done has become more about "giving back" than it has about asking for donations. For months I have heard of his efforts to put on a fundraiser performance that involved multiple skills in theater, Irish step dancing, film and production. Together, with the help of his very willing friends he created an amazing evening of entertainment. His generosity of his time and was matched by the sensitivity he has for this cause. Kevin shows how much of an inspiration he is to anyone who ever wanted to make a difference in the world for people who suffer from AIDS. I am honored to know him.
