WALK - RIDE - LOVE - LIVE
I RIDE and WALK out of LOVE for those with HIV and those at risk for getting HIV. I fundraise so that they will LIVE!

2020 is MY EIGHTH YEAR participating in AIDS Lifecycle. In 2019, my HERO DONORS finished #25 in total fundraising contributing $26,665.00 toward the RECORD BREAKING $16.7 MILLION raised by AIDS Lifecycle 2019! With governmental cuts that have hurt all AIDS Education and service organizations, it is more important than ever that we raise as much as possible for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the LA LGBT Center.

I believe I must keep fundraising given the current political climate in the United States. My fellow riders and roadies with AIDS Lifecycle have become my tribe and the fundraising is fundamental to my participation. In fact, it is the most important part of this experience. I hope you will partner with me again for AIDS Lifecycle 2020.  My Hero Donors have made a GREAT YEAR HAPPEN exceeding $39,000.00!  I completed my 90 day Challenge to walk 545 miles with 36,000 feet of climbing and 1.3 million steps for AIDS Lifecycle 2020. As of the end of ALC 2020, I increased that to 600 miles and 40,000 feet of climbing!

IN MEMORIAM

May 22nd, 2020 will be the 14th anniversary of the death of my former partner, Allen Bodine, who died of AIDS in 2006. We were together 21 years! What my Hero Donors and I have done and will do with our fundraising has transformed his tragic death into LIFE for others! The Fullness of my adult life is reflected in how I spend my energies. I hope too that these energies reflect my highest, positive intentional values. My philanthropic efforts through cycling add purpose and meaning to my life beyond my wildest expectations and inspire me to continue in service to humanity.

Together we can do ANYTHING!!
Diversity is our Strength but Unity is our Power.
