Blair and I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has donated to our team’s AIDS Lifecycle 2010 challenge. You will all receive a personal note separately, but as we are about 7 weeks away from the event, we wanted to tell you now that you are making the difference in our being able to do this thing. We appreciate it, and more importantly, the recipients of the work this fundraiser supports do as well.

And if you will be in the SF Bay Area at the end of the month, you can come out to our fundraiser at the Wild West Side bar and meet us if you haven’t already!

Thanks again, and if you haven’t yet donated, please do, via the link below…

Information on AIDS Lifecycle 2010:

In June 2010, we’re riding 585 miles of gorgeous California coastline on a fixed-gear bike over 7 days, in order to raise money ($11M dollars a year for each of the last 3 years) for AIDS prevention and treatment, cure research and services for disenfranchised gay and lesbian youth in the SF Bay Area.

AIDS/LifeCycle is a fully supported, 7-day bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles, June 6-12, 2010. It’s a life-changing ride—not a race—through some of California’s most beautiful countryside. AIDS/LifeCycle is co-produced by the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and is designed to advance their shared interest to end the pandemic and human suffering caused by AIDS.

With that stated, we humbly ask you to look into your hearts and see if this is something that you want to give a few bucks to.  if so, you can donate by credit card or your standard paypal account through this link –

and don’t forget, many companies will match their employees’ charity donations.  If you work for one of these generous organizations, please make sure and give them your receipt so that you can see your gift increased!  (just remember to do so in enough time to get the matching gift into the revenue stream before 6 June.)

Each rider must raise $3,000 before the event, and we as a team must collectively raise $6,000 with a goal of higher than that… so everything helps!
