Their mission: Raise $ and awareness for AIDS by riding 545 miles.

How: Hold fun community events to get everyone fit!

They didn’t want to say, “I wish I would have…”.

Inspired to help, four dedicated Truckee women are getting ready to ride their bikes 545 miles from San Francisco to LA to raise $ and awareness for AIDS.

They need $10,000 total, or $2,500 each to participate in the AIDS Lifecycle Ride.

They call themselves the Tahoe Queens - Karen Kucharski(#1343), Carla Jourdon (#6324), Namomi Suskind(#2299), and Cassandra Sharpe(#6905).

To raise money, they’ve come up with fun ways to get the community involved and in shape!
