Meant to Ride

by Paul Brown on 2 December 2007

In even more news, I think I might have mentioned this already, but it bears repeating. In August, my bicycle was stolen. I gave myself until the end of the year to get a new bike, or I’d convert from being a rider to a roadie for AIDS/LifeCycle 7 next June. I posted a plea for help on the ALC discussion forum, and somebody in Palm Springs offered a bike to me. I’ll be going down there the weekend before Christmas to pick it up. I’m still amazed at the coincidence of this: his friend, who was tall like me (and an avid cyclist), died of lung cancer. The friend’s family wanted the bike to go to a tall rider who is riding in the ALC. The donor saw my post and contacted me. It’s quite boggling.

Some would say this was meant to be – http://aidslifecycle.org/1611 – Please donate to support my efforts to help those living with this illness.
