MEET YOUR FELLOW RIDERS…The Hartshorn Brothers!
Meet the Hartshorn brothers, your fellow riders in this year’s ALC! The five brothers are coming from all over the US and the world to join us; we are so thrilled to have them! Ted (Miami, FL), Rob (Cleveland, OH), Mac (New Jersey), Bruce (Virginia), and Peter (Angola, Africa), will be pedaling their little socks off all the way to LA and they are very excited!
Their ride fever began when Ted Hartshorn heard about AIDS/LifeCycle through a friend and decided to sign up. Not long after that, he convinced his four brothers to ride too. The ALC mission hits close to home for all the brothers, especially Ted and Mac, who lost many friends and coworkers at the beginning of the HIV epidemic. The ride has a lot of meaning for the Hartshorn brothers; it also gives them the opportunity to do something challenging together. When they arrive in Los Angeles they will be welcomed by all of their families who will be gathering together for a post-ride Hartshorn family reunion!
Bib and Elden Hartshorn, the parents of the brothers, are excited for the ride as well and are very proud of their ‘boys’. All of us here at AIDS/LifeCycle are so happy to welcome the Hartshorn family into the fold. If you see them on the ride please feel free to say hello and thank them for all of their hard work. WELCOME HARTSHORNS!
