GOAL: $1,250
RAISED: $0
Jana Jaffe - Rider # 21

Here I am again, my 6th year riding 165 miles to raise money and awareness for The SMART Ride (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride). I do this because 100% of every dollar I raise will be shared with AIDS Service Organizations around Florida. Very few organizations can boast that they have this guarantee, in-fact it is unheard of in an event like this. The organization I work for, Broward House Inc., is one of those organizations that benefits from this event.
On Friday November 18th, and Saturday November 19th I will join hundreds of other individuals who will ride their bicycles or crew from Miami to Key West 165-miles. Our journey will be one filled with hope, with pride, and with the dream of a future free of AIDS.
I have set an ambitious goal to help raise more than the required $1250 because I believe what we do makes a difference. Did you know that those being infected at the highest rate are ages 13-23, not a typo! Education, prevention and care can make this disease a memory instead of a present-day reality. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see the world is free of HIV and AIDS.
I hope you will consider joining me on this journey and make a donation.
Margaret Mead once said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed; it is the only thing that ever has." You are part of the change, thank you.
