not sure if this is where i was supposed to post this but here goes!
CHARITY RIDE! 600km! 6 days! one wheel! one great cause!
"There's no thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue,
there's no joy in merely doing things which anyone can do. But there is
some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a
destination that you thought you'd never make."
On July 23rd, 2006, I’ll be joining the Friends for Life b*ke rally
from Toronto to Montreal – joined by approximately 200 other riders –
in order to raise money to help the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation
(www.pwatoronto.org). The goal of the ride is to help the Foundation
fund its on-going programs and services for men, women and children
living with HIV/AIDS in the city-wide community.
Those of you who know me personally will not recognize me as the
conventional type – and while most of my fellow riders will be
completing the demanding journey on bicycles I have chosen to take up
the challenge on a Coker!
There are not many other rides quite as unique as this one, nor many
for such a deserving local cause. Personally, this ride is about
attaining goals, and pushing my own physical boundaries. As someone
with strong ties to the community this is truly a cause I believe in.
And doing the ride on my unicycle makes it that much more important to
me.
In addition to the actual challenge, together with the hours and miles
required for training and preparation, participants have also been
requested to raise a minimum of $2000 in donations by June 30th. I have
set a personal goal to double this and raise $4000 for the cause. I
therefore would like to ask you to take a moment and make a pledge to
help me meet, and hopefully exceed, this goal.
I thank you very much for your support in our fight to help those
living with HIV/AIDS. Please check in periodically for information and
updates on my training and our progression toward meeting our goal.
You will receive a charitable tax receipt for all donations over $15.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Philip Barbosa
people photographer- side show performer - newbie unicyclist
Witness an average man, flesh skewered deeply and imbedded with shark
fishing hooks! Marvel as a mere mortal fueled only by free will...
Ferociosly Pulls, twists, and stretches hooked apendages to transform
the pastey dermal landscape of his own hide and finally ascend to new
heights, literally!" This is NO ILLUSION! What you will see is real...
and remember ladies and gentlemen all this done without the assistance
of his unicycle.
