Uli's Journey Alaska to Key West

With clear “2020” vision for a cure for HIV/AIDS in my sights and heart I will ride my bicycle from Alaska to Key West. I do this in order to raise funds and increase awareness of the life-changing opportunity to find a cure by the year 2020. The science behind the treatment and care of those infected has finally arrived at this momentous occasion. amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research is devoting its considerable resources to achieving this goal and I am committed to standing up for compassion in a world where all lives matter.

My journey will be an unprecedented challenge – physically and emotionally. It will take 6-7 months to complete this arduous journey, symbolic of the struggle so many people living with HIV face for the rest of their lives. I am compelled to do this because I have witnessed the intimate nature of this disease and the human response to it. I don’t need to explain that HIV knows no boundaries- globally impacting man, women and children, people of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Education is essential to preventing the spread and ultimately eradicating HIV’s path. My path across the North American continent will demonstrate that with belief and commitment anything is possible.

Please support me on this amazing, powerful, challenging and inspiring journey. Your finacial gift will keep me and Jackson (my dog) fed, warm and safe.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.
