(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 01, 2000 ) A 7 day, 575-mile AIDS Vaccine fund-raising "people's bicycle ride," from Missoula to Billings, Montana, July 30 to August 5, 2001, is hoping to raise $5 million to support the work of three leading AIDS Vaccine research organizations. Beneficiaries include the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (http://www.adarc.org), headed by Dr. David Ho, (Time Magazine's 1996 Man of the Year -- http://www.time.com/time/special/moy/ho/), the UCLA AIDS Institute (http://www.medsch.ucla.edu/aidsinst), headed by Dr. Irvin Chen, and the Emory Vaccine Center (http://www.cc.emory.edu/WHSC/YERKES/VRC), led by Dr. Rafi Ahmed.

About the Event The producer of the event is Pallotta TeamWorks (http://www.PallottaTeamWorks.com, the largest private event fund-development company in the United States. Last year Pallotta TeamWorks created the inaugural Alaska AIDS Vaccine Ride for the three research institutes, and some 1,500 ordinary citizens netted an astonishing $4.1 million to fund maverick science aimed at finding a vaccine. Dan Pallotta, president, says, "Most of the people who register have done nothing like this bicycle ride before in their lives. They range in age from 17 to 70-something. Men and women. From possibly every state and many parts of the globe." Pallotta adds that "Early announcement of this bicycle ride -- even though it occurs in the summer of 2001 -- is extremely important in order to give potential participants sufficient lead-time to make travel plans, plan time off work, arrange finances, begin fund raising and so on." In the year 2001 AIDS Vaccine rides series, two additional bicycle rides are scheduled: The Alaska Ride goes 500 miles from Fairbanks to Anchorage from August 20th to August 25th. The Canada to U.S. Ride goes 400 miles from Montreal through New England on to Portland Maine from September 5th - 9th. The dream of the three AIDS Vaccine Rides is to net $15 million within the next 12 months to fund critical vaccine research. The hope is to recruit about 6,000 ordinary citizens to participate in the three bicycle journeys.
