Thank you for visiting my Ride for Life Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate money.

My family and friends have lost many loved ones to AIDS and know several that are currently managing HIV/AIDS. Brenda and I have been able to do some work in the past to honor their struggle.  Currently, we have a family member infected with Hepatitis C.  She is the wonderful parent of a young child, and I want her to be able to manage this disease, mitigate its effects, and have a long and happy life.  I am riding in her honor.

This is a picture of my son Matt and me.  He is one of the people in my life who gives me lots of hope about the future. He is so willing to encourage and express his caring and love.  Everyone needs that especially if they are managing chronic and pervasive illnesses like HIV/AIDS or HCV.  We're all in this world together.  We don’t typically get to choose our comings and goings but we do get to decide what kind of impact we are going to have while we’re here in the living together.  Please consider what a positive impact your donation might have for those who continue to struggle with HIV/AIDS and HCV and for those who are lucky to avoid acquiring these diseases thanks to widespread prevention efforts.

Please visit the STAP website to see some of the ways the money raised will be put to use to encourage healthy life choices, create harm reduction strategies, and support those already infected.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this link to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  -Sarah
