AIDS Lifecycle - SF to LA
Jan 22, 2008

My good friend Monica (pictured center above) is participating in the AIDS Foundation Lifecycle event this year.  I'm so proud of her and just made the first contribution to her goal of twenty-five hundred dollars. 

I'm going to share her email with you because I think this is a great cause and a dedicated supporter...

"Hi Guys,

I hope you are all well!  I know that with the latest buzz towards philanthropy in today's world, many of you have been asking, "How can I give back to society?", "How can I make a difference??", or even  " How can I support a great cause and at the same time help some one I know great in great physical shape?"  Well I have the perfect solution to this problem, you can sponsor me in a charity bike ride!! How fantastic!! I'm going to be riding my bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles during the first week in June, it will be 545 miles over 7 days!! I will be raising money for Aids research while I do this!!! If you would like to sponsor me, my number is 2370 and here's a link:
 
 
I know that this might not be every one's favorite cause, but it is mine and I would greatly appreciate your support; and did you know.....

In July 1981, a small article in The New York Times reported the outbreak of a rare "cancer" among 41 gay men in New York and California. Few people imagined that an epidemic of monumental proportion was imminent.

Today, almost 22 million men, women and children worldwide have died of AIDS, and an estimated 40 million people are living with HIV. AIDS impacts people of all ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations.

It's Scary stuff!!
 
And for all of you that have the pleasure of working with me, I am doing this ride with Natalie and Maria as well so if you would like to make one donation for the three of us, let me know before you donate and we can work that out!!
 
Thank you sooooooooooo much!!!
 
-Monica
 
ps. It's tax deductible!!!!"

I'm putting this out there in case there's anyone else interested in supporting this fantastic rider in her pursuit to make a difference!
