About Me

"Team UTAC is a group of cyclists who believe in ending the suffering from HIV/AIDS, along with its stigma.
Through cycling, the members of Team UTAC (Until There's A Cure) raises funds to help those suffering with HIV and AIDS. Equally important, the ride to create additional awareness. The fundamental goal of Team UTAC is to eliminate the stigma and misconceptions, which surround HIV and AIDS. The team members attempt to change long held beliefs and stereotypes, which lead to misunderstanding and fear, not just the disease but also of its victims.
For Team UTAC, a bicycle is more than a vehicle. Cycling is symbolic of our core beliefs. One pedal stroke, followed by another, brings us closer to our destination. We steadily move forward, keeping our focus, not giving up. Through hard work and determination, we reach goals that seemed impossible. By pushing through the fatigue, pain and disappointments, we eventually succeed."
