The Malaysian AIDS Foundation will be organizing the Riding for Life 2007 to raise funds for its Circle of Hope campaign which supports:
Paediatric AIDS Fund- currently supporting 280 children aged below 13 years old who is either infected of affected (one parent living with HIV and in most cases orphan). We provide them with their day-to-day expenses (RM100 each month) and for those who are positive we provide them travelling fee to hospital for their periodic checkups.
Medicine Assistance Scheme- We provide 2nd line medications when their 1st line failed (1st line provided by hospital). 2nd line medications are the expensive ones- example: Kelatra cost RM923 per bottle a month. We are currently supporting 60 patients who could not afford their 2nd line medications and we have a long list of patients waiting to get sponsored.
Business Assistance Scheme: We provide a small interest free loan of RM2,000 to People Living with HIV/AIDS and their immediate family so they can help support themselves as many of them are not able to get permanent job. This year we had given 4 loans and estimate another 6 for 2007.
Currently the above need at least RM2 million to sustain.
The Riding for Life will be held from 1-3 Dec in conjunction with WORLD AIDS DAY. The ride will be from Putrajaya to Malacca.
