This is my 10th AIDS ride; I've ridden in ACT 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 11, and last year's 16, and crewed in ACT 9 and 10.  I ride with Team Orange "It's a state of mind." We can do this if we act together, as team to me means Together Each Accomplishes More. 

I ride simply because I want to be apart of putting an end to HIV/AIDS.

Did you know that the funds raised by the ACT ride help people living with HIV in Wisconsin LIVE LONGER than ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY!  I am excited by this fact.  Among clients served by AIDS Resource Center of WI (ARCW), 94% live in povery, but no one is turned away due to inability to pay.  So, I keep returning to my bike and my network of friends to help me meet this challenge of ending AIDS.  We need to do this as a team, so I'll fly if you buy.  I'm training hard to get up all those hills and to be able to put on 250 miles in 3 days (75, 100, and 75 mileage) and I need your help. 

I must raise a minimum of $1,000, but I live by Madison Fire Station #5's adage "Above and Beyond" so please meet me at the challenge of doubling that. Pledge today to support my ACT 17 ride.
