BRAKING AIDS® 2024: Updates & Slideshow

Below is a mini-montage from BRAKING AIDS® 2024 this past weekend. I’m grateful to so many people and for so many things—to my chosen ride family, to my body for continuing to stay strong despite how I treated it sometimes when I was younger!), to the weather gods for bestowing us with sunshine, to the 150 people and counting who donated generously to support Housing Works, and especially to my dad (you can catch me hugging him near the end of the slideshow), who taught 7-year-old me to ride a bike by running along side me while I learned how to pedal and balance, how to fall or crash, and then how to get back up again and ride some more.

The 2024 ride is complete, but if you meant to donate, gifts can continue to come in until mid-October. Thank you, everyone, for your love and support!

Me on Day 1 of the ride, with my dear friend and riding partner-in-crime Beth Shapiro
