Oprah Winfrey - AIDSLifecycle

"I think most of the people watching us around the world really don't understand the level of devastation that's going on," Oprah Winfrey told CNN's Larry King in a rare television interview Tuesday. "You have 11 million children in sub-Saharan Africa now suffering as orphans. ... They're AIDS orphans. What I realized is they're children left to take care of themselves." - CNN - African AIDS Orphans

In 2007, " talk show host Oprah Winfrey took an AIDS test at her new $40 million South African school for disadvantaged girls, hoping to set an example to pupils in one of the world's most infected nations. Winfrey said when she opened the school earlier this week she hoped that a better education would help shield South African girls from contracting HIV. " -

The Chicago Tribune recently reported that AIDS is the number one cause of death for African Americans between the ages of 25 and 44. Once again, AIDS is on the rise in the United States and around the world. More women, more college students and more people over the age of 50 are at greater risk than ever before. It's really something you need to know about."

    "In 1984, at the age of 22, I moved to San Francisco.

    During this time period, I could often be found in "The Trocadero," "The End Up," "Buzzby's," "DV8," and various other night clubs. San Francisco's night club scene was "off the hook." Everyone was having a good time.

    Yet, as the years past, I noticed that my Disco friends were slowly missing. And when I asked others about them, ...the common response was ..."they're dead."

    And now, at the age of 47, most of my friends are no longer here.   Most have died of HIV/AIDS, or complications of the AIDS pandemic."

    So, I had the choice of either
    1.) To sit and watch
    2.) Do something about it

    On 01 January 1994, I realized that there was more to life than: guzzling an expensive bottle of Robert Mondavi Chardonnay, being the belle of the ball, speaking of what others need to work on, and/or sitting daily on the same coach (in self pity).

    So, I bought a 10 year old Bianchi Road Bike. And I began a 6-month intense cycling training for a cycling event called the California AIDS Ride #2.

    In May of 1994, I left San Francisco with $3.00 in my pocket, no idea of how I was going to return, a questionable bike, the fear of failure, and began to cycle (along with 1500 other cyclist) toward West Hollywood. Seven days, 575 miles later, I arrived in West Hollywood. At which point, I realized it is possible to step outside of your normal routine. I realized it is possible to empower yourself while assisting others. I realized that I wasn’t alone in my ideas of creating a better world. And I realized that miracles could occur (after all, I made it back home with $3.00 in my pocket) .

    "In June 2010, I will began my 13th, 545 mile, 7 day journey, from San Francisco to Los Angeles in support of the efforts of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation & the fight against the AIDS Pandemic.

    Each year, I cycle 575 miles (from S.F to L.A, CA.). And, each year, I complete the ride knowing I did the right thing. . "
