3 AIDS Rides. 800 Miles. 1 Destination. FIGHTING AIDS!


3 AIDS Rides. 800 Miles. 1 Destination. FIGHTING AIDS!


This summer will be super exciting for me! I will be riding my bicycle nearly 800 miles, covering 3 States over a 21 day span. I will raise a minimum of $3,700.00 for AIDS Service Organizations in those 3 States.

On a personal note, these three events will mark my 41st, 42nd, and 43rd AIDS Ride since I began riding in 1997. I will return to the very first 3 States I rode through back in July 1997. This will mark a full circle moment for me! Since 1997 I have personally raised nearly $100K to help those in need around the United States!! I will continue to ride to raise awareness (and dollars ) that AIDS is far from over and helping those in need is far from over!!

Together we can FIGHT AIDS!
