To solicit support for the development of an AIDS vaccine and to care for those with HIV/AIDS today, I have committed to riding 1,000 miles each year on my bicycle over 3 sponsored rides - the AIDS Vaccine 200 in Atlanta, the AIDS LifeCycle in California and the Charity Treks ride in New England. I rode 1090 miles in 2012 and plan to ride in 2013. Together, we can end AIDS.
Thanks,
everyone, for the warm wishes you've posted as they mean a lot and have
really helped me today. I'm pretty beat but will keep pedaling!
Today, I am enjoying Red Dress Day. Some of us have been reflecting on
how much creativity has been stolen from the world by AIDS. The
community we've formed really is a glimpse of how wonderful the world
could be - as we have left our social statuses, titles, ethnicities,
sexual orientations, and all the other things that seem to drive
politics today - they have all been overcome. We are just taking care
of each other.
I have some interesting Red Dress Day photos - some of which I will share here later and others on the Cycling Club site :)
My favorite chuckle today came when a team of riders had a group member
pull over. The others were asking "what's up?" - expecting to hear
flat tire or something. The response: "I spilt Gatorade on my dress!"
So much to share and not nearly enough battery. Please pray for me
tomorrow and Saturday. 80+ miles tomorrow on my sore "you know what" is
not going to be pleasant. I'm thankful to have your stories and
thoughts as well as the knowledge that Carol will be on a Delta flight
to meet me at the finish line! 150 miles to LA!
