3. Re: 23 Years Later, Oprah Returns to Williamson, West Virginia

"Today's show hasn't aired in my area yet but I remember seeing the show 23 years ago. It was so emotional. I couldn't talk about anything else for days.

Remembering how this touched me, I would like to see Oprah do more of these type of shows to stimulate social consciousness. The celebrities are fine but, being her last season, I believe she has a golden opportunity to reach the whole world who is watching. The problems with poverty, education, crime etc. are getting worse, in my opinion, not better.

In this country, think about New Orleans (where people continue to suffer so much), or Detroit (where society is unraveling), or Las Vegas (where the chasm between the "haves" and "havenots" has never been wider). There are so many social issues that need to be addressed.

Oprah Winfrey has the power to start a ground swell movement to accomplish something about these issues. No one could do it better."

The Chicago Tribune recently reported that AIDS is the number one cause of death for African Americans between the ages of 25 and 44. Once again, AIDS is on the rise in the United States and around the world. More women, more college students and more people over the age of 50 are at greater risk than ever before. It's really something you need to know about."

    On 01 January 1994, I realized that there was more to life than: guzzling an expensive bottle of Robert Mondavi Chardonnay, being the belle of the ball, speaking of what others need to work on, and/or sitting daily on the same coach (in self pity).

    So, I bought a 10 year old Bianchi Road Bike. And I began a 6-month intense cycling training for a cycling event called the California AIDS Ride #2.

    In May of 1994, I left San Francisco with $3.00 in my pocket, no idea of how I was going to return, a questionable bike, the fear of failure, and began to cycle (along with 1500 other cyclist) toward West Hollywood. Seven days, 575 miles later, I arrived in West Hollywood. At which point, I realized it is possible to step outside of your normal routine. I realized it is possible to empower yourself while assisting others. I realized that I wasn’t alone in my ideas of creating a better world. And I realized that miracles could occur (after all, I made it back home with $3.00 in my pocket) .

    "In June 2012, I will began my 15th, 545 mile, 7 day journey, from San Francisco to Los Angeles in support of the efforts of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation & the fight against the AIDS Pandemic.

    Each year, I cycle 575 miles (from S.F to L.A, CA.). And, each year, I complete the ride knowing I did the right thing. ."
