CPR to AAA, Chip's Personal Response to AIDS Across America, is an effort to raise much needed funds for those living with HIV/AIDS. Thank you for helping us reach our goal to raise US$100,000 by December 1, 2007 for 9 wonderful, not-for profit organizations that help ALL people living with HIV/AIDS (see blog entries above for more information on each organization).

In 2007, I will ride and walk over 425 miles in 2 AIDS Rides and 2 AIDS Walks and ask that you sponsor me with at least $5. And then, if you are comfortable, please invite 10 friends to support CPR to AAA, in their own way.

Many of you may know me best after I won The Amazing Race 4 with my then husband Reichen Lehmkuhl. It was a wonderful moment in my life, which afforded me the opportunity to pursue what I love most -- figuring out ways to improve people's lives.

This personal passion began many years ago with my first HIV/AIDS fundraising efforts while I lived in New York City in the 1990s. Besides traveling 44,000+ miles on The Amazing Race 4, I have traveled 1,800+ miles for HIV/AIDS fundraisers riding my bicycle in 6 AIDS Rides, running 2 marathons and 5 half marathons, and walking in 3 AIDS Walks. I also helped organize and run AIDS Walk Miami 2005 and raised monies for HIV/AIDS related organizations across the USA.
