First and foremost, thank you. In all my years of fundraising for the Friends for Life Bike Rally, I have never experienced this level of overwhelming support from my family, friends, and neighbors.

Preparing for this 100km-a-day physical and mental challenge always brings a mix of anxiety and excitement, but it is a journey I accept gladly. I am currently just under $640 away from my $5,000 goal. Securing an additional $1,500 corporate sponsorship would push me past $6,500 into Top Fundraiser status, directly aiding regional ASOs and the communities they serve. If you haven't pitched in yet, please consider doing so today!

I want to make it crystal clear why this matters so much: I am a PWA volunteer of over ten years, helping run our food bank and front desk reception. I am also an HIV-positive community member who has relied on PWA as a client for the last 12 years. I know exactly how vital these services are because they helped save me. 

With inflation, unemployment, and systemic funding cuts hitting our neighborhood hard, PWA needs our collective support now more than ever.

Thank you for riding with me.
