And as we ride past the home of Oprah Winfrey,, I invite the O.W.N to participate (in any way that they can).

The presence of Oprah at the AIDSLifecycle 2012 Closing Ceremonies would not only fuel the hearts of the 2,500 cycling philanthropists & 400 volunteer crew members – it would present a platform to continue promoting self empowerment; flattening ignorance; and providing education as a prominent African American Woman in the African American Community,

AIDS/LifeCycle is co-produced by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and is designed to advance their shared interests to end the pandemic and human suffering caused by AIDS.

I know:

1. It takes a village to raise a child,
2. You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.
3. The best way to teach is by example.

And as I prepare & train for my 15th Journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I know I’m doing the right thing.
