Ross & Jeff's Team -- Ross Martineau

For the 9th year, we are once again hitting the road for Paradise Ride Kauai 2014: a 120-mile bike ride on August 2nd & 3rd. We are asking you to help us meet our fundraising goal by donating any amount. Every dollar counts.

This year you can Double your donation! We have a generous donor who is matching each contribution up to a total of $2,500!

If you can donate $5 please donate $5 and that will become $10! If you can donate $500 please donate $500 and that will become $1,000! Make a difference by making a donation today. Consider giving up some small luxury for a few days, a week, or a month, and donate that amount to help someone else in need.

Paradise Ride Kauai is the major annual fund raising event for Malama Pono Health Services, established in 1986 as a grass-roots response to HIV on the Garden Isle. Every dollar donated stays on Kauai and the money raised literally helps keep the agency's doors open. (Jeff used to be the Executive Director.)

No big song and dance, this is why we continue to do it:

Jeff: I have been HIV+ for 26 years and I'm very lucky: I'm healthy and I can make a difference in other people's lives. Malama Pono provides all services for FREE to anyone who walks in the door. On such a small island and with such a tight community, access to the services they provide is an absolute necessity.

Ross: Because I think that victory is within our grasp, because there are too many new infections still occurring every year, because it is not with words, but with actions that change finally occurs.

You can donate online using the DONATE box above or make a check payable to Malama Pono and send it to us at:

P.O. Box 662024, Lihue, HI 96766-7024

Thank you for supporting us Mahalo nui loa, Ross & Jeff
