Valentina Rosa – Harbor to the Bay

Harbor to the Bay

An AIDS Benefit Bike Ride

Valentina Rosa

Dearest Friends and Family,

September 23rd of this year will be my 11th and the 21st Harbor to the Bay (H2B) bike ride fundraiser. Very sadly Ride XXI will be the last H2B. As an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, the H2B Planning Committee has decided we can't continue our efforts. Though this year's ride will be bittersweet, we have a lot to celebrate and be grateful for including:
  • Raising almost $7 million in 20 years for the treatment and health education of people living with HIV and AIDS.
  • Supporting four healthcare agencies that provide needed services and treatment for at-risk populations.
  • Sharing the road with over 220 fellow riders in 2023, one of the highest totals we've had since 2017.
  • Completing my 11th H2B and serving as a captain of the Fenway Health team for my 7th time.

This is where I need your help. Whether you've helped with your generosity since I started riding or this is your first time, we're all in this together. 100% of all fundraising goes directly to the four organizations I mentioned.

I'm honored and humbled to have been riding in H2B for so many years and will miss the people and the ride dearly. Please donate whatever you are able. To donate towards my goal, donate online by visiting my fundraising page at https://stage.harbortothebay.org/profile/ValentinaRosa. All donations no matter how small or large are 100% tax-deductible. And every donation--every donation regardless of the dollar amount--makes a difference in the quality of someone's life.

With love, gratitude and abundant thanks,
Valentina Rosa (she/her/hers) xoxoxo
