Toronto Star Wheels Article
I have written an article about our London to Cape Town adventure for the Wheels section of the Toronto Star. You can find it online here. The article caused a surge of interest in our trip and our cause of fighting HIV in Africa at the Toronto Motorcycle Show yesterday. I am happy to report that we have already sold over 100 Dignitas Calendars and have logged a number of cash donations as well. Thanks to everyone who supported our cause.
If you missed our booth at the Toronto Motorcyce Show, you will have another chance at the SUPERSHOW being held January 2,3, and 4th, 2009. We will be selling our Dignitas Motorcycle Adventure calendars there as well. See you there or on some dusty track in a forgotten corner of the world.

The calendar features pictures and trip information from our recent adventure from London to Cape Town. 100% of the profits from the sale of the calendars will be donated to Dignitas International, a Toronto-based humanitarian organization that dramatically increases access to antiretroviral drugs for people living with HIV/AIDS around the world.
