News Briefs Minnesota: Bicyclist Organizes His Own AIDS RideOctober 4, 2002 A note from TheBody.com: Since this article was written, the HIV pandemic has changed, as has our understanding of HIV/AIDS and its treatment. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information! Last year, avid cyclist Stephen Parish had planned to participate in an Amsterdam-to-Paris bike ride in support of AIDS research, but he dropped out after learning that only 20 percent of the ride's earnings would go toward research. Next Friday, Parish and seven other cyclists will start a three-day journey from Hinckley, Minn., to Duluth, Minn., with a goal of raising $10,000 for Emory University's Vaccine Center. Parish's group has already raised $5,000 by holding fund-raisers and asking Twin Cities businesses to donate money. Parish, 45, said 90 percent of money raised by his group would go directly to funding AIDS research. He said he wants to form a network of people across the country to host small rides and donate money directly to research. For more information, telephone 612-875-6677.
