AIDS Life Cycle & MAXPRO Volunteers

(Originally posted June 3rd, 2008)

The MAXPRO Volunteers were out in force last sunday morning! Ten of us woke up at 5:30 to get together and cheer on the Riders of the AIDS Life Cycle Ride. Over 3,000 bicycle riders making the heroic effort to ride over 575 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles in seven days to raise over 11 million dollars to benefit organizations in both Northern and Southern California who are providing services and support to people living with AIDS/HIV.

Our volunteers put together over 3,000 safe sex kits and handed them out to the riders and spectators all along the route on sunday. What an awesome reception the volunteers received.
The riders were happy to see others out there spreading the word to help bring an end to this pandemic. Everyone on the side lines loved cheering on the riders as they struggled up highway 92 from San Mateo over into Halfmoon Bay. It was an incredible sight to watch the cyclist stream by for over 4 hours and then gather at San Gregorio for lunch. Watching as the riders climbed the hill out of San Gregorio towards their first days final destination in the Santa Cruz area was an incredible site.

Maxpro wishes them a safe and successful ride to Los Angeles.

This world needs more heros like these riders!

This summer MAXPRO condoms will be covering several other events to promote safe sex and responsible lifestyles. Look for us to be at the San Jose Gay Pride, San Francisco Gay Pride, San Francisco AIDS Walk, other bay area street fairs and events. We are always looking to co-sponsor events with non-profits and organizations seeking to promote safe sex and healthy lifestyles. Have any ideas feel free to let us know!
