What’s so special about our
event? Lots of things! You’ll be challenged to
accomplish what you didn’t think you could. But,
you will. You’ll be surrounded by other people
who are doing something they didn’t think they
could. But, they will. You’ll be part of an exceptional
effort to fight HIV and AIDS, and you’ll get
to meet some of the most amazing people in the world;
people who are out there, making a difference. You’ll
also get to know someone new. You. Alive, powerful,
and committed.
By participating in this event, youll
be raising dollars that will be used by our beneficiaries
to provide medical and dental services, psychiatry
and counseling, health education and prevention, housing
assistance, case management, and research. Youll also
be promoting the cause, and educating the communities
we pass through along the route. You. Making a difference.
So, please accept our invitation to join a brand new, mostly volunteer-produced,
and fully-supported 4-day, 3-night, 325-mile journey that starts and
ends in Sacramento. Although the mileage will be long on a couple of
days, most of it is rolling or flat. All ages and fitness levels are
welcome, but you must train to be comfortable and complete this event.
Also, remember that this is a ride, not a race. You can do this!
