Let’s do this one last time!
For the uninitiated, AIDS/LifeCycle is a 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles over 7 days to raise funds for the life-saving services offered by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Los Angeles LGBT Center. Brian and I did the ride in 2013, 2014, and 2018. The services provided as a result of this event mean the world to those who receive them.
Sadly, 2025 will be the last AIDS/LifeCycle held as the logistical costs have increased significantly over the ride’s 30+ years. With the incoming US administration likely to cut funding for these critical services sharply, fundraising for 2025 is more important than ever.
The ride is also an incredible beacon of compassion, inclusivity, and love, all of which we could use more of these days. As it weaves its way down the California coast, it provides a voice to the often-isolated LGBTQIA+ community members in smaller cities and towns (Bradley, one of the ride’s rest stops, has less than 70 residents!). By supporting this cause, we can take a stand against stigma and help to improve and save lives in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Thank you in advance for your support!

Yoann & Brian
