This weekend, our IT professional Jeff Page is riding his bicycle in the Harbor to the Bay benefit ride for AIDS research. If you wish, you can support H2B's important work by making a contribution of any amount at:
He is doing the 65 mile "baby ride" from the Sagamore Bridge to Provincetown. In Jeff's words, "I chose it because the website said there are 'fewer hills.' We'll see whether the web guru at H2B has a sense of humor. And, if you would prefer to commemorate my ride by drinking a bottle of Gatorade, that would be fine with me (I think H2B prefers cash, however). Contributions of whatever kind are welcome!"
