With over 5.5 million HIV positive, HIV and AIDS still finish first as leading causes of manageable pain in South Africa. The country enjoys a national enthusiasm for sport, some of the most amazing topography in the world, and many low and flat areas making it a near cycling paradise. And however cliché the saying goes, together we can make a difference.
AIDS Ride South Africa encourages and accepts donations and gifts from local vendors including but not limited to donations of funds, food-stuffs, cycling equipment, camping equipment, cycling gear, cycle-repair-persons, campgrounds, petrol, rental cars, airline tickets, furniture, real estate, as well as the generosity of your time and enthusiasm. No legal measure of support will be refused no matter how large or small.
We are men and women of all ages and of all nationalities, infected and affected, cycling together to raise funds and awareness about issues and concerns to HIV positive and HIV and AIDS infected and affected individuals in South Africa. It is understood that helping HIV positive individuals of both infected and affected communities and raising their chances of success in society that all of society benefits, regardless of an individual's status, and that helping others helps ourselves.
AIDS Ride South Africa, Ltd. is a not-for-profit corporation registered with New York State, USA. AIDS Ride South Africa, Ltd. has applied for 501 (c) (3) status pending Internal Revenue Service approval.
All funds raised from the ride will go toward creating HIV and AIDS education programs for HIV positive infected and affected individuals at Khulumani Support Group: http://www.khulumani.net
