End AIDS Knitalongs and Crochet Alongs

Quarterly KAL/CALs for my AIDS/Lifecycle fundraising in support of San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Los Angeles LGBT Center. AIDS Lifecycle is an annual 7-day, 545 bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles raising money for the two organizations. This is my 5th year riding, with a long-term goal of raising $200k and a 2023 goal of raising $33k.
