I might be crazy to do this, I might just be crazy period, but next year I am riding my bike 545 miles, over 7 days, from San Francisco to Los Angeles to stop HIV/AIDS. I am riding in the AIDS/LifeCycle, third time, and I need your help.
About four years ago, a close friend mine became HIV+ and when he told me I flashed back to all the images I'd seen growing up on television. I knew HIV treatment had come a long way in 20 years, but at that moment I feared the worst and he could have just said "I'm dying" and it wouldn't have made much difference.
Thankfully treatment has come a long way, he's healthy, and can afford healthcare. A lot of those living with HIV/AIDS are not nearly as lucky, so when a friend tried to sign me up for this, I said yes. In two previous rides, I've raised over $12,000 through your donations of support that has funded the SF AIDS Foundation's life saving work.
While you're in the spirit of holiday giving, consider a small donation of support to fight AIDS.
