Default Donate to the AIDS Lifecycle Ride!

I need 8 more online donations to receive an incentive award for fundraising for the 2011 AIDS Lifecyle Ride. Donate in honor of Elizabeth Taylor!

The incentive gift is from the SF AIDS Foundation to riders who get 17 online donations between March 17th and March 24th. It sounds kinda of corny but ya know what it helps with to motivate us in raising $3000. It's a lot of work, and worth it.

Last night after dinner I got on my bike that is sitting on my trainer in my living room and rode it for 45 minutes. I rode for 2.5 hours on Sunday while the rain poured down. All indoors. It's not easy riding on a trainer. You have to fight sitting hard on the saddle, pedaling constantly with no excuse to stop to smell the flowers. Though bathroom breaks in your own bathroom is a joy versus the bush along the side of the road.

So where does Elizabeth Taylor come into this equation? She was the first "famous" person to speak out about AIDS and to help raise funds for AIDS organization. Her AIDS charities have raised millions of dollars for programs to fight HIV/AIDS. She put herself out there when President Ronald Reagan would not utter the words during his entire Presidency. Without her presence, hard work and dedication many more people would be infected, dead or without much needed help.

So donate, so I can get a ALC logo'd shower bag to use on the ride, for Liz Taylor and her legacy in this fight. For a friend who you know that has HIV/AIDS, for a parent, for a brother, sister, coworker.
