Iyengar yoga teacher, tony eason cycles 585 miles for AIDS Charity
http://ynottony1.blogspot.com/
In 1984, at the age of 22, I moved to San Francisco. During this time period, I could often be found in "The Trocadero," "The End Up," "Buzzby's, "DV8," and various other night clubs. San Francisco's night club scene was "off the hook." Everyone was having a good time. Yet, as the years past, I noticed that my Disco friends were slowly missing. And when I asked others about them, ...the common response was ..."they're dead." And now, at the age of 45, most of my friends are no longer here. Most have died of HIV/AIDS, or complications of the AIDS pandemic.
So, I had the choice of either
1.) To sit and watch
2.) Do something about it
Each year, I cycle 575 miles (from San Francisco to Los Angeles). And each year, I complete the ride knowing I did the right thing.
