AIDS Life Cycle

This upcoming June, our Co-Host, Mom, will be participating in a cycling event, aimed at raising money for charity to support AIDS research and treatments. This 7 day, 545 mile trek will start in San Francisco, Ca and end in Los Angeles, CA, winding up and down hills and valleys. My mom’s goal is raising $10,000 and I’m hopeful our audience can help. If you can assist with her ride and learn more, please visit my Mom’s AIDS Life Cycle Page.
