It is simple, quick and it goes all the way.

This year will be my third time riding my bike for 7 days with other 3,000 Cyclists in AIDS/LifeCycle, a 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise funds for the life-saving services offered by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.  

The center supported me two years ago and they saved my life. They were kind, generous, loving people, who understood exactly what I was going through, and provided me with the healthcare and counseling I needed to understand that living with HIV is not a death sentence. It is living with a chronic disease not different than diabetes or high blood pressure.

I was able to get healthy, to love myself again, and now it is time to give back to this community that has helped me so much, but is still in so much need of support.

I have become a Training Ride Leader in less than a year, given my testimony in many video footages for advocacy and awareness, and I will continue to speak up and start a conversation about the stigma that still surrounds HIV and those who live with it.

Now, I need your fully tax-deductible donation now.

Let us raise 3000$ to do the ride. My goal is 5000$.

Thank you so much for your time, and support!

Por tercer año consecutivo, voy a hacer la carrera de ciclismo de 7 dias, de San Francisco a Los Angeles, para recaudar fondos para apoyar al Centro LGBT de Los Angeles y al San Francisco Aids Foundation.

Quienes trabajan aquí son héroes. Ellos me salvaron la vida cuando no conseguia tener los cuidados medicos en mi pais Venezuela.  Me ofrecieron terapias de apoyo, orientacion y todo lo que necesité para volver a sentirme sano y recuperar mi autoestima.  Definitivamente, los servicios que brindan como resultado de este evento salvan muchas vidas, y tu aporte me ayudará a guardar mi puesto en la carrera.

Yo estoy dispuesto a realizar la carrera y poner todo mi esfuerzo, pero necesito ayuda. Cualquier donativo es importante, y todo suma, y los fondos van directamente al Los Angeles LGBT Center.  Todos los dias se ofrecen servicios medicos para quienes no pueden costearlos.  El esfuerzo que ellos realizan es enorme. Ayudame a continuar apoyandolos.
