Greetings and good tidings! From September 5th through the 9th, I was involved in the first trans-national bike ride in the name of finding a vaccine for AIDS. Beginning with my stay in Montreal and ending with the sharing rounds of beer at the Portland, Maine airport bar, a sense of trust and community was shared with 1800 other bikers.

 

I would like to thank the thirty-one generous people who helped me raise over $3500! People have asked me if there ever will be a vaccine to stop the AIDS crisis around the world. I must be hopeful and say yes.

We need to start sometime before there is no time to find the solution. With the AIDS crisis worsening around the world, we, as the most affluent society in world, must make an attempt to understand what is going on and ameliorate the situation. Once again, I thank every one of you! Your donations helped me pedal every mile to get to Portland. Now on to the photos!!!
