But now the most important one is the fact I have been there already, and being now the second year, I know we will be laughing, crying, struggling uphill, sore and stiff muscles at the end of each day, after 100 miles, more or less, and then have quality time with team mates and old/new friends ... After all, to participate to this ride is a privilege I'm honored to have: the fight against AIDS is in itself a great cause I want to be involved with and it's my determination to help as much as I can, for how little it might be or seem.

Medications are expensive and medical research is going as fast as money is poured in, that's why I'm counting on your generosity.

I also ride for my HIV+ friends (I love you guys) wishing for a vaccine RIGHT NOW, and for my nieces and nephew wishing them to read the "AIDS" word only in the historical chronicles.

Courage is the force that creates history, and the heart is the power source.
