AIDS LifeCycle 2012

I've decided to ride 545 miles again from June 3-9 2012.

Participating in AIDS/LifeCycle for three consecutive years in June 2008, 2009 and 2010 was really something special for me: just to feel part of such a strong, diverse and incredible community of people for 7 days, people trying to make a tangible difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS by biking 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles. It was truly a life-changing event.I trained hard, preparing myself physically and mentally for several months, but still experienced an emotional roller coaster. Even with that, I'm eager to participate again, to do what I can to try to make a difference. Last year's event had over 2300 riders and raised a record of 11,6 million dollars.HIV and AIDS are definitely not over. The fight against AIDS continues. During the coming months, I will be grateful for any support, however small or large, you can give. The cause is worthwhile.Thank you,
