Last year with all of your help we raised over 10.5 million dollars for such a wonderful cause.  Your donations helped to provide the needed support for so many that were unable to provide support for themselves in a time of desperate need.  HIV/AIDS is becomming more widespread and is a devistating disease.  With todays medications, we can control the virus to managable levels but the cost to the individual and to society as a whole is tremendous.  The medications can cost upwards of $1250-$2000 a month.  This isn't just a problem for individuals with the virus and disease, but for everyone as it places strains on our health care system.  It is this reason why I truely believe in the saying, "If one of us has HIV/AIDS, we all do", and why we need to provide the support to find the cures and make this disease one for the history books. 

I hope you will support me in this endeavor and allow me to experience for a second time one of the best times I have ever had in my life.  This years ride is June 6 through June 12 2010.  Please explore the website, watch the videos of the past rides, look at the pictures, and feel the energy that is created around this experience. 

I pledge to give many many hours and put in many miles of training in order to prepare for this event--to give what I have to offer to help those that are in more desperate need than myself.  I ask of you to do what you can to help those in need and to allow me the experience of a life time that I have found this even offers. 

Thank you dearly,

Dean Rager
