PCRM Research Director Steven Ragland (left) finished his four-day, 360-mile bicycle ride from Raleigh, North Carolina to Washington, D.C., as part of the charity AIDS Ride that raised $1.9 million for AIDS/HIV services in the nation’s capital. “I did this ride because it directly helps people living with HIV and AIDS,” Ragland said. “None of the money goes to animal experiments. It goes straight to work improving the lives of people with HIV and AIDS and to help fund vital prevention programs.”
