""We are honored to share the name and event details of Cycle to Zero with our community, so many who have been supporters of SFAF, long-time participants of AIDS/LifeCycle, and champions for our HIV and LGBTQ communities," said Tyler TerMeer, Ph.D., CEO of SFAF. "As our systems of public health care and funding for HIV and LGBTQ+ services continue to come under attack, now is the time for our communities to come together to protect and prioritize the health care and services we need.""
""More than 40 years into the epidemic, we know that HIV prevention and care can't operate in a vacuum," said TerMeer. "HIV is driven by the contexts in which we live-fostered by racism, homophobia, transphobia, and inequity-and linked to overlapping issues related to substance use, mental health concerns, and more. That's why our approach and mission must encompass these overlapping issues while keeping us laser focused on reaching an end to HIV.""
Cycle to Zero is a three-day fundraising cycling event benefiting the San Francisco AIDS Foundation with registration opened on October 6. The event builds on the AIDS/LifeCycle legacy and advances goals of zero new HIV diagnoses, zero stigma, zero overdose deaths, and zero inequity. The name was chosen with community and former participant input. The route runs from San Francisco to Guerneville and Sonoma, then back along the coast, with day two offering 38-, 65-, or 104-mile options or a stay-in option in the Russian River Valley. Fundraising minimum is $2,500 and riders may join for a single day.
