1. AIDS/LifeCycle

The AIDS/LifeCycle is an incredible journey where cyclists and volunteers will travel 545 miles, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, California. This ride to end AIDS is taking place May 31-June 6, 2009, and is put on by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.

The bike ride is designed to raise awareness and increase funds in hopes of contributing to health services and education regarding HIV/AIDS. The LifeCycle requires that each cyclist raise a minimum of $3,000 to go towards such efforts. I am very proud to say that I know three people participating in the ride. These women are powerful and empathetic individuals who will no doubt prove to be beneficial to the expedition and to the cause. Unfortunately, they have not quite yet reached their goals, and now have just a little over two weeks to do so. Please join me in helping them to raise money to ride for this colossal cause.

To my cycling friends Roxanne, Shannon, and Molly, your act of bravery for your community overwhelms me and your compassion is contagious. I am hopeful that you will see your goals realized.
