This summer, six riders from around the country will bike 4,000 miles in the 2011 Ride Against AIDS: Meet Lili, Michael, Vadim, Katie, Laura, and Tim!
They can’t wait to meet you, your couch, your grandparents’ floor, or your friend’s former bunk bed…
The Ride Against AIDS is organized by FACE AIDS – a nonprofit organization that fights AIDS by building a global movement of youth dedicated to social justice and global health equity. The 2010 Ride Against AIDS raised over $50,000 for PIH programs in Rwanda.
Help out this year’s riders by offering a place to stay along the route, and forwarding this message to friends and family who are spending their summer in the following places. Your help is also welcome in setting up speaking engagements in any of these locations (See the full Ride timetable here):
