Thank you for joining me in this cause! I’m excited to share my AIDS/LifeCycle journey with you.

Cycling runs deep in the veins of many Belgians. I've been both a cyclist and pro-cycling fan for many years. In my youth, I would traverse Europe on my bicycle, while staying overnight in youth hostels. Also, in the Bay Area, I've ridden quite a few roads and trails, and climbed the famous mountain roads. 

Last year, I met the South Bay Blaze team, who every year train for the AIDS Lifecycle ride. As I learned about the cause, the good the organization does with the funds they raise, and the ride itself, I decided to sign up for the 2023 ride. 

I’ll be working throughout the year in support of the life-saving services offered by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.  

The services provided as a result of my fundraising efforts include counseling, HIV/STD screenings, linking youth experiencing homelessness and people living with HIV to housing, and so much more. By supporting this cause, you take a stand against stigma, helping to create a world where health justice is a reality for everyone. 

These services mean the world to those who receive them, and your support means the world to me.

Thank you for your support.
