For the last 4 years, I've had the honor and privilege to meet two very wonderful families here in Wisconsin. I have Thank you Venns!trained w/ all but one at the gym. The 'other' one I have had the pleasure of riding Harley's together! Can you guess which one? They are extremely supportive of Da Pirate, my mission and very compassionate towards HIV/AIDS.  Despite the miles, we've stayed in constant contact and although the visits aren't as often as I'd like, my love and gratitude towards them is unwavering. They have become family to me and I'm grateful for such dynamic friends! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Venn and Mr. and Mrs. Tenuta. You continue to give so much!

Bob started as a youth HIV/AIDS educator  with peer education programs in Los Angeles shortly after his diagnosis. To broaden his personal message of prevention through education, hope and awareness of the disease, Bob founded the nonprofit HIV/AIDS educational organization, HIVictorious, Inc. in 2005. HIVictorious addresses youth HIV/AIDS education and prevention and provides AIDS awareness in Madison, Wisconsin and throughout the United States through Bob's public speaking and it's AIDS awareness poster contest, "What if it Were You?" Mr. Bowers long-term survivor of HIV/AIDS, and someone who has lost dozen of friends to AIDS, Bob is wholeheartedly committed to educating today's youth and young adults, about the realities of HIV/AIDS as well as living with AIDS long-term. Mr. Bowers is a champion for hope and survival despite some of the difficult circumstances that we ALL face in life.
