AmfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, has announced that a group of committed donors have agreed to match funds raised during Kiehl’s LifeRide, on its CrowdRise page, up to 52,000. To date, more than $40,000 has been raised on CrowdRise to support the riders and the fight for an HIV cure.
The sixth annual Kiehl’s LifeRide for amfAR will end in San Diego on August 15th. It is being led by Kiehl's President Chris Salgardo and amfAR Chief Executive Officer Kevin Robert Frost.
The 12-day charity motorcycle ride includes celebrities, as well as motorcycle enthusiasts, including Vanessa Marcil, Gilles Marini, Teddy Sears, Tricia Helfer, Kristy Swanson, Grant Reynolds, Jay Ellis, Ben Cohen, and Jaime Camil.
"For the past 30 years, AIDS research has been a marathon, but in the last couple of years, it has become a sprint," said Frost. "It's a reflection of the enthusiasm that scientists feel about the research to find a cure. And we are incredibly grateful to this group of generous donors for showing their faith in us by offering to match CrowdRise donations during the Kiehl's LifeRide because without their support, the research wouldn't be possible."
