"AIDS/LifeCycle has existed as a beacon of strength and hope for people living with HIV and LGBTQ+ communities for more than 30 years," Tyler TerMeer, CEO of San Francisco AIDS Foundation, stated. "As a person living with HIV, participating in this event for 16 years has been life-changing in the best ways-as it has for so many other past and present participants. We have built an incredible community, and supported so much more than an annual bicycle ride-we have made an impact on the HIV epidemic."
Both SFAF and the Center reaffirm their commitment to ending the HIV epidemic. The urgency of their work is underscored by statistics showing that over 30,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with HIV each year, significantly affecting marginalized groups such as Black and Latinx communities, men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals.
"We are incredibly proud of the impact the Ride has had on our local communities and the HIV epidemic nationally," said Joe Hollendoner, CEO of the Los Angeles LGBT Center. "Funds from this event helped change the trajectory of the AIDS epidemic. No longer is it just a ride; it's a critical fundraising effort that drives real change and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS."
