Yesterday I did one last 50 mile training ride before AIDS/LifeCycle 7. The big 545 mile, 7 day ride from SF to LA to fight HIV/AIDS starts sunday and I’ve already started packing.

My fundraising dropped off during the last month, when I was injured and worried my foot would keep me from riding. AIDS/LifeCycle Incentive JerseySo far I’ve raised $3,900 in the fight against AIDS and have less than a week to raise another $1,000 to reach my fundraising goal.

The money raised on AIDS/LifeCycle goes to fund the SF AIDS Foundations prevention and policy work and direct services for those living with HIV/AIDS. Please help me in the fight against AIDS with a donation of support.

If I can reach $5,000, I get a nifty new cycling jersey to prove it. The jersey is an incentive I’ve achieved twice before and it's made them two of most treasured possessions. I’m hoping I won’t fail at getting one this year too.

Bruising my tailbone snowboarding has had me off mike bike for the last month, and I already felt pretty far behind training for this summer's AIDS/LifeCycle ride from SF to LA, but I haven't raised much yet and while this guy has gone all out with a video which got picked up on SFist today. SFist's Brock goes a bit negative about the "fundraisers that will litter the city for the next few months or so", but with a government that places tax cuts over health funding we need to find the money to fight and treat HIV/AIDS somewhere. So why not make a party out of it?

Andrew, the fat one in the video, works for the AIDS/LifeCycle and hand delivered the rider information packets to me and everyone else who knew to so the money for stamps could go to fight HIV/AIDS instead. Please support the fight against AIDS, by supporting me with a donation.

]]> Riding a bike from SF to LA? Are you crazy? tag:vox.com,2007-12-21:asset-6a00c2251d436b8e1d00e398ca30ae0001 2007-12-21T03:46:41Z 2007-12-21T03:46:41Z Jamison http://jamison.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

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.
