    *shameless fundraising!*

    In June I'll be on the medical team for Tour de Friends, a four-day fundraising bike ride. Food & Friends founded Tour de Friends, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to managing fundraising events benefiting people living with HIV/AIDS. The first-ever Tour de Friends four-day bike ride will take place June 19-22, 2003, and benefit Food & Friends in Washington, DC, the Fan Free Clinic in Richmond, VA, and the Alliance of AIDS Services - Carolina in Raleigh-Durham, NC. I have set a modest fundraising goal, and I'd appreciate contributions if you're able to help; the link is below. If you can't do it, that's cool — no pressure. :) Thanks!
