7 years strong!
On June 18th & 19th, I will be supporting 17th annual Ride for Life Chicago (RFAC). This is my 7th year being a part of a great organization and community. I'm participating in this event to raise vital funds to support HIV services in the community. In addition, through my participation, and with your support we will continue to raise awareness around HIV in an effort to reduce the debilitating effects of shame and stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. I commited to raising $1500.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU all for taking the time to support this cause!

EMPOWERING LIVES AFFECTED BY HIV
TPAN’s Ride for Life Chicago is the unique cycling and fundraising event to support the lifesaving work of TPAN and its community partners. For more than 15 years, the Ride has been a critical engine of support for our delivery of healthcare and services to people living with HIV/AIDS and related health conditions. In that time, the Ride has helped TPAN deliver care to tens of thousands of individuals and had a profound impact.
The Ride brings together thousands of donors and hundreds of volunteers, cyclists, and advocates to ensure that nearly 2,000 people per year have access to TPAN's care and services at no cost. Through participants' commitment to cycle 100-200 miles over 2 days, our riders and volunteers share their stories of triumph over HIV, their commitment to end HIV/AIDS, and TPAN’s success in providing expert, compassionate health services to individuals and families across Chicago.
