Chaos 🧡

Background: AIDS/LifeCycle is a 7 day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles, co-produced by and benefiting San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center. The event raises awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic and funds services such as HIV testing, prevention, care, and much more. The San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Los Angeles LGBT Center provide life-saving & critical LGBTQ+ services that create a world where health justice is a reality for everyone. 

Pedal Pups: Chaos's Journey

As a proud member of the Pedal Pups since 2023, becoming captain in 2024 Captain, and continuing into 2025 as a Co-Captain, I have found a home within this vibrant family based in San Francisco.

Our team, sponsored by Mr-S-Leather and Powerhouse, isn't just about the 545-mile bike ride from SF to LA; it's about creating lasting change for our community.

The critical LGBTQ+ health services funded by this ride have directly benefited so many people. From accessible testing to comprehensive care, these resources have been a lifeline for countless people in the community.

Each month, our team hosts fundraisers that bring together our diverse community in celebration and solidarity. As we pedal toward our ambitious $100,000 goal, we're doing more than raising money—we're raising awareness, fighting stigma, and honoring those we've lost while supporting those who continue to need these critical services.

When I clip into my pedals wearing my Pedal Pups jersey, I'm riding for a future where HIV/AIDS is truly a thing of the past. I'm riding for the friends who received compassionate care when they needed it most. I'm riding because I've personally experienced how these services transform lives.

Will you join me in supporting this incredible cause? Together, we're not just funding healthcare—we're building a more equitable, understanding world for all in the LGBTQ+ community.
