"FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T..."

For those who can't..... that is what stuck in my mind today.
I just came back from an event that AIDSLIFECYCLE just hosted. There was a gallery of photos, from 5 photographers, who captured moments from last years ride. The gallery was amazing.... It touched me; I still can not believe I will be SMILING, in a natural high from the ride.. As I was reading those summaries of the exhibits, and reading some of the logos of the pictures, the one phrase that stuck in my mind was: FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T.
Now, that is the reason why I am doing 545 miles on a bike; a 7 day tour.... because right now, I CAN... That phrase stuck in me.. think about it... one day, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO.. one day, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO... and for the time, that you and I will not be able to, we would want someone to help us.. help us just live our lives.....
That is just one part of what this ride is about... There are sooo many affected by the disease of HIV/AIDS... Those living with the disease, but also those that have someone in their lives with HIV/AIDS. This ride, is about helping those that need the help.... The challenge of doing 545 miles on a road bike, does not come close to the struggles one deals with HIV/AIDS. So, when you read this post, think about how many of those who can't, that YOU can help. A pledge, of 5...10...20...50 dollars, goes A LONG WAY. That money that we spend, on dinner, a night out at the clubs, the movies, will COME A LONG WAY. So, make that pledge, and help those who can't.. because one day, we will all want that support.. because we won't be able to....
