Red Ribbon Ride

My Ride Center
Dear Friends & Family,
I am very excited to inform you that I will be doing my fifth Red Ribbon Ride this year. Half a decade sure does go by fast. With my cycling and your financial contributions, together we have raised almost $7,000 for organizations that assist people living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota. I could not continue to ride these 300 miles every July if I did not have the continued support of my friends and family. I ask for your support again in 2009.
I fully understand the economic condition that we currently are in; this is all the more reason that we need to raise the critical funds that the seven beneficiaries rely on to keep their doors open. The seven beneficiaries include: The African American AIDS Task Force, The Aliveness Project, Clare Housing, Hope House of St. Croix Valley, The Minnesota AIDS Project, Park House and the Rural AIDS Action Network. These organizations offer a variety of services from housing to prevention and education to stop the transmission of HIV/AIDS. I invite you to check out the beneficiary page on the Red Ribbon Ride’s website by clicking here.
This ride is very challenging in both training and fund raising. Training for a 300 mile bike ride is not easy and even harder is raising the minimum $1,500 to be able to do the ride. I hope I can count on your continued support this year. If you haven’t donated in the past, I hope that you will join in the fight against HIV/AIDS and make a tax-deductible donation to my ride.
You can make a donation to my fundraising campaign right here by clicking on "Click here to make a gift to Michael", just above the thermometer. If you prefer to write a check, you can download a donation form by using the link at the bottom of the page. If you want to participate in the event with me, you can register now on this site. It will prove to be an amazing event!
As always, please email me if you have any questions about donating or participating in the Red Ribbon Ride.
Thank you,
Michael
