September 12 - AIDS Ride for Life- Ithaca Area
For one day, in the fall of the year,
in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State,
you will buckle your helmet, put your feet to the pedals,
and ride 100 miles closer to a world without AIDS. You'll
be cheered, fed, and celebrated for a ride you'll never
forget. The 2009 event will the 11th
AIDS RIDE for Life. The event began as a dream of
two local cyclists who rode in one of the national,
multi-day AIDS rides and came home asking, \"Why
not here at home?\" It is now an awe-inspiring
Ithaca tradition that brings together hundreds of riders,
volunteers, and sponsors. The RIDE has raised over $1
million for local HIV/AIDS services in its nine-year
history. In 2008 the event reached a major goal when
it raised over $1/4 million. And now, in 2009 we have
set our sights on reaching another landmark and bringing
450 riders together to pedal around Cayuga Lake on RIDE
day. For more information: Mary Kaminsky, MKaminsky@stapinc.org
