I
found out that
my friend Steve
Meyer passed
away on Friday
night, peacefully.
I can't tell
you how shocked
I am and how
greatly he will
be missed by
me and countless
others. This
hand is in his
honor and to
remember all
he did to tirelessly
educate others
about HIV/AIDS
and other social
issues.
R.I.P. Mate!

Wow...your generous websites
gives people a pretty good
idea of who you are. Thank
you for sharing that with
people. (my bro died of
AIDS after refusing to go
to doctors and then it was
too late).
I am sorry for your struggle.
I am happy for your brains.
I am awed at your "person".
I am glad you have spirituality
and a sense of yourself.
I hope you have all the
love around you that you
put out in the world. I
wanted you to know that
right at this moment there
is someone thinking about
everything you said. Good
rides and good luck and
good feelings to you in
your life.

Imagine
an event like the recent Tsunami happening
every three weeks.
HIV/AIDS, which is preventable, takes
over 150,000 lives every three
weeks
A
bicycle is now being lead down a center
path. It is without a rider. But in a larger sense, it is
without many riders. It is without your friends, and
my friends. It is without our lovers, our
brothers, our sisters. It is without AIDS Riders who
have joined us on AIDS Rides past. It is without over 500,000 Americans
who have died of AIDS. We represent them with quilts. We represent them with memorial
services. We represent them with photographs,
of the memories we share together on
this earth. But now they belong to the ages.
And today, today we represent
them with the sweat off our backs, with
the muscles in our legs, the breath
in our lungs. The stamina to conquer
hills, and wind, rain, and adversity.
Today we represent them with
courage, with dignity, with the grace
and strength of HEROS. This
bike
has no rider, but our bikes will.
Today we represent life gone
by, with life still here. More beautiful
than any cast in bronze, or carved in
granite. And it says we will never forget.
We will never give up.
We will never
give up. WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP. As long as we live, we will never
give up.
In loving memory of
Timothy Alan Luebeck

With Love,
Your sister Mona
Mr
Bowers. I have
recently viewed
your film,
"The Fire Within".
I was moved
beyond words.
I met you about
5 years ago
at San Diego
State University
and was challenged
and humbled
by your life.
I live my life
in the moment
and often your
powerful existence
reminds me not
to sweat the
small stuff.
Thank you for
all of your
work and guidance.
You are truly
my inspiration.
It's so great to hear
from you. I'm incredibly
glad I met you this
summer. You are such
a strong, inspiring,
amazing individual and
my life is forever better
because I know you.
Love, Amy
"A
Journey of Hope is a
book that everyone should
have the opportunity
to read. It embodies
the spirit of giving,
compassion, caring and
hope in a time of great
apathy surrounding the
disease. It gives an
intimate, powerful and
honest perspective of
just how deeply HIV
and AIDS have impacted
our youth and families
in America. The Journey
of Hope profoundly moved
me. Then, having had
the privilege to serve
as a counselor for Camp
Heartland this summer,
I shed even more tears
having witnessed first
hand, the raw and un
describable beauty and
magic of Camp Heartland.
I too had the distinct
honor to meet the author
who is one of the most
remarkable and inspiring
men I have ever met.
His passion and commitment
to our youth affected
or infected by HIV is
truly unparalleled.
Mr. Willenson has graciously
given you a personal
gift, the opportunity
to experience a glimpse
of the beauty, love
and spirit that the
children of Camp Heartland
possess and those that
are fortunate enough
to serve with them."
