Dear Friends: There are so many wonderful charities to choose from. I have chosen The Joy Ride because 100% of every dollar I raise will be given to AIDS Service Organizations in our communities around Florida. On Friday November 22nd, and Saturday November 23rd I will join the Motorcycle Safety Crew for the ride with hundreds of other individuals who will ride their bicycles or crew from Miami to Key West 165-miles. Our journey will be one filled with hope, with memories, with pride, and with the dream of a future free of AIDS. I personally want to do more than the required $1200 because I believe what we do makes a difference. Education, prevention, and care can make this disease a memory instead of a present-day reality. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to know that the world is free of HIV and AIDS. I hope you will consider joining me on this journey and make a contribution. Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed; it is the only thing that ever has." You are part of the change, thank you.
