I'm crewing for RAAM Team4hivhope
To disable ads, please log-in.
I saw someone else posting about their RAAM team of two awesome women, and I wanted to spread the word about our team as well. I'm crew for Team4hivhope, a four man relay team, with three members who are HIV positive. About half of our crew of 12 are also positive. We want to show the world that with the right treatment, there is life and hope after diagnosis. We have a website: www.teamforhivhope.com and we're on twitter and facebook. During the race we will be blogging on the website www.thebody.com Please cheer us on!

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

That is FABULOUS. I love it. If you guys need stuff that we could help with....tell us on this forum, okay?

Woohoo! I'll look out for you guys! Our team is RAAM Boomers. Say "hi" if we cross paths!
edit: I'm not joining the crew until they get to Colorado, so don't look for me earlier!
edit, take 2: and I think we're still looking for another crew member, so if it sounds like the best way to spend your summer vacation, lemme know!Last edited by Pedal Wench; 05-23-2011 at 08:19 PM.

The only thing we need is how to figure out how to pay for it. We've actually gotten a few donations but since we are not a non profit group it's tough. We're all pitching in. It's really our dream

Well, we came in fourth out of 32 four-man teams, so as rookies, we feel pretty good. At least two of the racers are planning on doing it again. I'm still undecided. It was an experience of a lifetime that I'm not sure I want to repeat...

That is so fantastic! I met a man at an organized ride on Saturday who says he's involved with organizing the time stops. I'm not in a position to do it yet, but one day I'd really love to crew for a RAAM team, or be involved with the nuts-and-bolts side of it somehow. Once you've caught your breath, maybe you could give us a narrative of your experience?

Our team did great -- it was the two-woman team. I had a blast, the women were amazing, and I'm committed to crew again for another team next year. It was insanely exhausting, but crazy-fun!

Wooohooo, glad to hear this! Somehow I missed RAAM this year, guess things were just too busy. Last year I volunteered for the time stop in Bloomington, IN and enjoyed it! Originally Posted by Pedal Wench

Team4hivhope is going to race again, though with two new racers along with two veterans. One of our new team members has done RAAM in the past as a solo as well as on a team so we are very excited to have his experience. We have other things up our sleeve which are not public yet, but will keep you posted.
