Pat Osorio - Rider # 449
Dear Friends,
If you got to this page, you probably know I'm passionate about sports. One of the things that make me so into it is seeing how much resilience, determination, and discipline it requires from people who choose to do it, especially in a competitive mode.
Sports also change you as a person: you become stronger, healthier, driven, and oriented toward your team's goal. Doing charity is similar: you donate your time/money to a cause you support.
This year I've decided to participate in the 20th Anniversary ride of The SMART Ride (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride). On Friday, November 17th, and Saturday, November 18th, I will be cycling the 165-mile route from Miami to Key West. This is a great opportunity to combine my passion for sports with a good cause.
For this ride, 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.
Did you know that those being infected at the highest rate are ages 13-23? Education, prevention, and care can make this disease a memory instead of a present-day reality. And that's the collective goal I and hundreds of other cyclists are riding for.
I hope you will consider joining me on this journey and make a generous donation.
Thank you,
Pat
