Hello friends and family,

I hope this message finds you well!

The SF AIDS Foundation is a wonderful organization that promotes health, wellness, and social justice for communities most impacted by HIV, through sexual health and substance use services, advocacy, and community partnerships. It holds a special place in my heart, as I volunteered and worked on and off there for years while I was in graduate school.

Originally I was planning to do the Donner Lake Half Ironman on July 23rd, but a rock fall has scuppered the bike route, and that distance was canceled. Instead, I am now going to do the June Lake Half Ironman, on August 19th. I wanted to use the training for this event to raise money for the SF AIDS Foundation, since I was unable to do the AIDS Lifecycle this year.

Thank you so much for anything you can give,

Tessa
