HIV / AIDS

Because AIDS is still FATAL and there is still no CURE.

HIV and AIDS Have Not Disappeared. In our nation's capital, a city with an estimated 1 in 20 persons are possibly infected by HIV and AIDS, BBSSU (a cycling club) and a coalition of  AIDS-related organizations come together to help make a difference.

On August 17, 2008, the One Day, One Ride, One Cause charity bike ride will travel throughout the 8 Wards of the District of Columbia to raise awareness and funds to combat HIV / AIDS in the community.

Our mission is to:

• (1) Bring awareness to the community that the District has the highest rate of newly-diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases in the United States;
  
  
• (2) Educate the community in preventing the spread of the disease; and
  
  
• (3) Raise funds for eight (8) HIV/AIDS-related organizations that provide care and services toDistrict of Columbia children, teens, adults and families infected with and/or impacted by HIV/AIDS.

With a minimum of only $100* to raise / donate and a $50 registration fee, you can make a difference in the lives of children, men and women affected by AIDS in the District and the surrounding community; and maybe you can make a difference in your own life.

We cannot do this without you.
