I am participating in 2 Rides this year:
-- "Braking the Cycle Ride" = 275 miles across 3 states and
-- "The Smart Ride" = 150 miles from Miami to Key West
Special Note: Because of fees related to donations only those of $5 or greater make economic sense. :-) My "Braking The Cycle" fundraising page acts as the conduit for ALL fully tax deductible donations. The Braking The Cycle team will distribute funds to the 9 benefiting organizations at the end of 2008.

GAY AMERICAN HEROES
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender individuals are subject to hate crimes everyday in America. It is time to show this
reality in a way that reveals the impact of hate on our countrys citizens and educate the public about the ever present danger
facing the LGBT community.
The Gay American Heroes Memorial is the opportunity to
show the result of hate against people for simply being
who they are.
The goal of the Gay American Heroes Foundation is to take
our traveling memorial to communities throughout the USA to
honor the lives of LGBT people who have died as a result of
hate crimes based on their sexual orientation and gender
identity. This will also help to educate the public about hate
crimes as well as inspire compassion and acceptance of all
people.
We also want to reach out to communities as soon as possible
following a deadly anti-gay hate crime. Our foundation, with the
support of our sister organizations, work to support the family
and friends of the victim, as well as work with local officials, law
enforcement, and service organizations to provide counseling
and outreach.
We need your help! Please join us in this historic project today
by adopting a hero or sending us your tax-deductible donation
today!
HEROES:
All people who live honestly about their sexual orientation or gender identity are heroic, as it takes great strength and courage to face the daily struggles for personal freedom in the face of enormous opposition; to ultimately give their life for said freedom makes them heroes.
Many people on the Gay American Heroes exhibit are heroes for the way they died and all were heroes for living as who they truly were.
