In a few months, I'll be participating in a very special and powerful event
to help fight the battle against AIDS.

In June 2000, I'll take seven days out of my life to ride a bicycle 560
miles form San Francisco to Los Angeles with over 2,500 other people in an
event called California AIDS Ride 7. We're riding to raise money for the
Jeffrey Goodman Special Care Clinic and other HIV/AIDS-related programs.
Together, we hope to raise more than $9 million for individuals living with
AIDS, and important AIDS prevention programs in Los Angeles and San
Francisco.

I've agreed to raise at least $2,500 in pledges between now and the
beginning of the ride on June 4th. To meet this goal, I need your help. I
would greatly appreciate it if you would consider making a tax-deductible
pledge to support me in this endeavor. I have attached a pledge form on
which you can designate a pledge amount that is right for you.

It's estimated that over 33,400,000 people worldwide are infected with HIV
right now. AIDS has affected nearly all of us, having taken more than
410,800 people in the United States. That's seven times the number of
American fatalities in the Vietnam War. With your support, I hope to avert
any more deaths caused by this epidemic and to help those who are ill and in
desperate need of care and intervention.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. It means a lot to me.

All my best,
