This summer I will be participating in the ACT/ARCW virtual AIDS Ride.   My goal is to ride 300 miles by the end of August, and to raise $800.  Not great goals, but with everything going on I think they are realistic.

The AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin is home to the ARCW Medical Center now called Vivent Health - Wisconsin's largest and fastest growing HIV health care system. Through its integrated medical, dental and mental health clinics along with its pharmacy and dedicated social services that include food pantries, a legal program, and social work case management, more than 3,300 HIV patients in Wisconsin gain the health care and social services they need for long-term survival with HIV disease from ARCW.

ARCW-Vivent Health is also a leading provider of innovative and aggressive prevention services to help at-risk individuals stay free of HIV.

Why We Ride
We ride for a world without AIDS!

Today, more than 6,300 people are living with HIV/AIDS in Wisconsin and it is estimated that an additional 1,500+ are not diagnosed but living with the disease. We ride to make sure that anyone who is living with HIV in Wisconsin has access to life-saving health care and social programs. At ARCW, no person is turned away due to inability to pay for services, and that is made possible in part due to the funds raised by this event.
