That's right! I am riding in the AIDS/Lifecycle ride this year! Thank you for visiting my donation page.

I have chosen to embark on this amazing adventure for many reasons. One of them being to help raise funds towards the research of  hopefully finding a cure for this infectious disease. I have lost a few friends over the years due to HIV/AIDS and also have a few very close friends that have to live with it every day. Wouldn't it be nice to someday find a cure?

Another reason and the one I hold closest to my heart is I'm riding in memory of my father, Joseph Feller who passed away last year due to heart failure. No, he did not die from HIV/AIDS but he did die and that is no easy pain to deal with. I still struggle with his passing every day and wish he could still be here with me. He was the most important man in my life. My rock. My foundation. He and my mother who is still alive and kickin' have always been the driving force in my life. The ones who gave me the strength to always follow my dreams and passions. It's because of them that I journeyed out west to chase after my dream of becoming a successful voice over actress. They always told me I could do it and stood behind any decision that I thought was best for me and now, I know deep in my soul that this ride will help give me the strength that I need to continue on my journey out here. It will help me stay strong and focus on my dreams and passions. It will allow my wounds of all the pain I endured last year heal much smoother. This is why I ride.

At this point of my life riding in the AIDS/Lifecycle ride IS what's best for me.

People say that I'm very ambitious. I say it's going to save my life. Help me help others by raising money to save the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS.

Thanks you so much for donating. Every penny counts whether it be large or small and don't forget that donations are tax deductible. The ride is June 6-12. My personal goal is $4000. Please help me get there.

Sincerely,

Kat Feller a.k.a. rider # 6038 ; )
