Hello Brothers, I am in the process of training for AIDS/LifeCycle. I started on February 18th with no idea what I was getting myself into or how I would possibly reach my fundraising goal, but I signed up anyway with one prospect on my mind. END AIDS. 35 days later, you all responded in kind by assisting me in reaching over $3000.00! Thank you. Thank you to all of you that have made this milestone possible. I am now eligible to do my first ever AIDS Life Cycle ride, but we still have a way to go and we need to raise more funds. If any of you have some treasure that you would like to share to help me reach my goal of $10,000. It would be greatly appreciated. This weekend I will be participating in the PosPeds Paul Hulse Century. This will be my first time riding 100 miles in one sitting and I am excited! Look for my STRAVA updates for ride times and speed. As always, keep the support coming and I will keep pedaling. Remember no amount of money is too small; every dollar counts so click the link! Also the donation website allows you to make larger monetary pledges and to have them taken out over time. So have $1,000 but dont want your AMEX to melt? Set up monthly distributions :D • $5000 will help cover a full year of laboratory procedures for 18 patients • $3,000 will help fund 1 month of research to improve treatments for people with HIV • $1,000 will help provide post-exposure prophylaxis (a pill to reduce the chance of infection by about 75%) to one person who has been recently exposed to HIV • $250 will help provide free, rapid HIV testing to 20 people • $175 will help provide HIV prevention counseling to 20 teens • $100 will help fund 6 discussion groups that support healthy living for HIV-positive men and reduce the risk they will infect others. tofighthiv.org/goto/marques YITB, Marques
