At the age of 32, a friend suggested,  “sit in the nude & stare into a mirror.”  So, I did. And after staring (for 10 minutes) at my face, arms, stomach, eyes, feet and legs, I realized the mirror reflection did not match up with the words pouring out of my mouth.    <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n

I decided I needed something “to tell the grandchildren” [smile] … so I put down the cocaine; stopped hanging out at “The Endup”; quit drowning in vanity; and became a positive addition to humanity by participating in California AIDS Ride #2 in support of the efforts of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

Now 20 years later, I am very “proud” of my personal life changes. From a cocaine addict to a road #cyclist<\/a> to a #yoga<\/a> teacher to a #marathon<\/a> runner. It all began with that first 545 mile, 7 day #bike<\/a> ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. One step at a time .. .and one hell of a journey.<\/b><\/p>\n


Therefore, in June 2014, for my 17th Year, I will participate in an event to benefit the S.F. AIDS Foundation called AIDSLifeCycle. Each year, I must raise a $3,000.00 minimum to participate.<\/p>\n

AIDSLifeCycle is a fully supported, 7-day bike event from San Francisco to Los Angeles, June 1 – 7, 2014.  It?s a life-changing bike ride [not a race] through some of California?s most beautiful countryside. <\/b>
AIDSLifeCycle is co-produced by the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center  & the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and is designed to advance their shared interest to end the AIDS pandemic. <\/b>
I know:<\/b>
1.  It takes a Village to Raise a Child,<\/b>
2.  You Get in Life what You have the Courage to Ask For.<\/b>
3.  The Best Way to Teach is by example.<\/b><\/p>\n

And as I prepare & train for my 17th Journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I know I\u2019m doing the right thing.  Can you help?<\/b><\/p>\n
