Aids Rides

Hi All,

I am sure most of you have heard of the Aids Rides. Well planned rides to raise money for aids. I have gotten the brochures in the mail to join in the ride. Its seems that the same company that organizes the aids rides also is in charge of planning the Breast Cancer walks for chairity etc.
Well according to the lastest news the company that plans these events is making a very handsome profit. As it turns out they are under investigation for only giving around 30 cents on the dollar raised to charity. In some states they have given as little as 10-16 cents on the dollar ! As reported many people with this company are becoming millionaries at the bikers and walkers expense. The guide line on charities is to give approx 65 cents out of every dollar raised. Makes me wonder about the MS 150 rides....wonder how much they are giving ??

Ride Safe....Dudley
