(Los Angeles, California) This year's AIDS/LifeCycle has raised more than $11 million for HIV services on its annual 545-mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles - a record amount organizers said. The money will support HIV/AIDS-related services at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. More than 2,300 riders rolled into West Los Angeles Saturday, ending the weeklong ride. The cyclists rode through eight counties, talking with local residents and media along the way to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and promote HIV prevention. This year saw participants from 10 countries and 43 states - including a contingent of people living with HIV known as the Positive Pedalers.
