I had such a beautiful weekend with my BRAKING AIDS® Ride family! I am also filled with so much love and gratitude for all the friends and family who support the ride, help us honor the loved ones we have lost and empower those living with HIV, and enable our community to continue the fight to end AIDS. Together, we raised $420,000 and counting to support Housing Works lifesaving services and advocacy.
As of this writing, I have raised more than $23,000 from over 130 generous donors. AND YES, YOU CAN STILL DONATE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS:
Below is a BRAKING AIDS® Ride 2026 video recap, from my time helping with event prep in the days leading up to the ride to the protest we participated in at Philadelphia City Hall on Friday to my two incredible days on the road.
Thank you to everyone for their support.
