Incredible support towards ending AIDS in our lifetime

I cannot thank you enough.  For fifteen years I have had remarkable support from my community and from the 1,000 people on my contact list who keep giving year after year.  We have supported hundreds of people in Lesotho whose lives have been made so much better because of that support.  We have treated thousands of people affected by HIV.  And now, we are poised to treat thousands more.

I feel your support.   I survive on your encouragement.   You make me understand, beyond a shadow of a doubt that people are, for the most part, kind and generous and concerned for their fellow man and the world as a whole.  It is these virtues combined with our intelligence, wisdom and collective power that will rise to meet the challenges our world faces.  I am convinced of that.

Thank you for helping me raise over $11,000 and all I had to do was cycle.

The Bracelet of Hope organization is an incredible community of courageous, smart and compassionate people.  I invite you to join that community as we strive to tackle international problems, joined together as one force for good.

Our World AIDS Day Gala is on November 30th.  There are only a few tables left.  Purchase tickets at braceletofhope.ca and become a part of a wonderful evening of celebration, inspiration and encouragement as we reach out to assist our family in Lesotho, Africa.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The end of AIDS and the FUTURE WE WANT, the future they deserve!

I am one person.  I can see the future we want.  I can also see the future that my children and my grandchildren will end up with if we do not take action.  I can see the effect it has on our children's mental and emotional health when they realize that we are not doing enough to create the future we want and the future they deserve.  

                                             

The United Nations has already put the strategic plan in place to achieve 17 remarkable goals by 2030.   They will give my children and your children the world they deserve.  They are beautiful goals.  There is a 16-year-old from Sweden who has given her life to helping achieve 6 of them:  7,11,12,13,14 and 15 with SDG #13 her main focus:  climate action.  I pray for her protection.

The world has made the most progress in achieving a key part of SDG number 3:  The End Of AIDS

 The incidence of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa (among adults aged 15 to 49) has declined by 37 %

37.9 million people worldwide are living with HIV;

23.3 million (62%) have access to antiretroviral therapy;

In 2,000 only 250,000 had access to treatment

Treatment stops transmission

Treat all 37.9 million and we end AIDS

We've got this!

Butha Buthe Lesotho:  Because of our efforts, he will survive

And meeting this goal will prove that we have all it takes, the intelligence, the tools, the technology and the will to meet every goal.  This is why I do what I do.  This is why I sometimes do crazy things like cycle 50 km with an injured knee and aching joints.  It is my responsibility and yours to give it all we've got to create the future they deserve.
