JENNIFER ITALIANO TO PARTICIPATE AGAIN THIS YEAR IN THE FRIENDS FOR LIFE BIKE RALLY
Live co-founder Jennifer Italiano is set to once again participate in the annual Friends For Life Bike Rally, in support of the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.
The Bike Rally is the sustaining fundraiser for PWA, supporting its ability to provide critical services and support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto.
Of her inaugural experience with the event last year, leading to the decision to sign up once again this year, Jennifer shares:
“As some of you know I rode my bike to Montreal last year for the PWA foundation. When I first completed the bike rally last year I was on a complete high– I had never experienced anything quite like it. All my hard training along the way payed off but it was definitely more challenging than I had expected. The people I met along the way, the stories we shared have touched my soul and are part of me for the rest of my life. When I finished the rally there was no doubt I was going to ride again. A few months passed and I had questioned if I would in fact ride because of how hard it is and the committment that I need to put in. However, I got to thinking that a few months of hard work is nothing compared to what people living with HIV/AIDS go through everyday. So, I am back to do it again. I plan to train harder, ride harder, and raise more money. Please help a girl out in reaching her fundraising goals. The money goes directly to people/families in need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
