Dear Friends:

There are so many wonderful charities to choose from. I have chosen The Joy Ride as they continue the journey where the SMART Ride left off after 20 years (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride). 100% of every dollar I raise will be shared with AIDS Service Organizations around Florida. Very few organizations can boast that they have this guarantee, in-fact, it is unheard of in an event like this.

On Friday, November 22nd and Saturday, November 23rd I will join the inaugural 165-mile ride from Miami to Key West. Though not on a bike myself for the 165, I will be crewing and helping in any fashion to make this 1st year of The Joy Ride as successful as possible. Like the SMART Ride for 2 decades before, the Joy Ride will be thousands of other individuals riding or providing support; a journey filled with hope, with memories, with pride, and with the dream of a future free of HIV and AIDS.

I personally want to do more than the required $1200 because I believe what we do makes a difference. All of us. Help me to be a part of creating a world free of HIV and AIDS through your donations. Or if you want to be a part of the EPICyclists and ride or crew with the rest of us, reach out and I will get you in touch with the folks to make that happen.

I hope you will consider joining me on this journey and make a generous donation.
