Catching up: number trois

So i traveled (by bus) to The big city (toronto) to go to a newbie information session. while in toronto i purchased some very nice bike shorts from mec. they kinda make me feel like i'm wearing i diaper, but hey if it means my ass won't hurt great. The information session was held at the office of the People with AIDS foundation. What a busy place. holy. They began the session by having a person who PWA supports come in and tell thier story. PWA Toronto helps so many people in so many ways. Support groups, one on one therapy, warm smiles, helping people find the medication they need, helping greiving families, providing food to those in need, as well as providing public education and aweareness campaigns. I learned alot that night. All about the ride and how it all works. The ride is largely volunteer run (only 1 or 2 staff). All of these volunteers are amazing passionate people who care so so much about this foundation. The time and energy (on top of training themselves) they dedicate to the ride is inspiring. PWA is so important to the lives of so many people. please consider sponsoring me. every little bit helps a lot.
