ACT 7: AIDSNETWORK CYCLES TOGETHER

The purpose of our long journey across the country: The ACT 7 Ride. The ACT rides raise money and awareness for the Madison AIDSNetwork ( http://www.aidsnetwork.org/ ) which provides AIDS/HIV prevention and care services for the South Central Wisconsin. Thom became involved with fundraising for the Network over a decade ago as a rider for the Twin Cities to Chicago AIDSRides, and transitioned to volunteer and crew member. It is the sort of event, the sort of people that we want our children to interact with and be a part of. The community created over the four days of the ACT ride echoes the one that in our hearts we all wish we lived in every day. It is good people banding together to solve problems, to support each other, to find joy in our everyday lives. Our hope is that our children will see this, and wonder why the whole world isn’t like this, and work to change the world to be a better place. And they’ll have fun while they do it.
