I love to ask people, “What's the best event you've ever attended? And why?” Was it your best friend's wedding because you knew everyone there? Was it a baby shower because everyone was there for the same reason - to help the new parents prepare for their next chapter? Was it an amazing concert because the community had taken on a life of its own with costumes and bracelets and dancing? Most often, a person's favorite event boils down to its community - a group of like-minded people coming together to celebrate or accomplish or support a common cause. Without a focus on building an authentic and inclusive community, our walks and runs and rides risk blending together and losing their distinctiveness.In this episode, P2PPF's Marcie Maxwell is joined by Tracy Evans, Race Director of AIDS/LifeCycle, a fully-supported, seven-day bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles, raising money for both the Los Angeles LGBT Center and San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
