<p><span style=line-height:1.6em>Dignity/Boston’s cycling and crew team the <a href=http://www.harbortothebay.org/profile/cardinalsins/ target=_blank>Cardinal Sins</a> again put its heart soul time and money into raising funds for four HIV/AIDS organizations in the Harbor to the Bay ride Saturday September 20 2014.</span></p>
<p>The team’s eight cyclists rode their bikes from Boston to Provincetown (126 miles) or from the Sagamore Bridge (the entrance to Cape Cod) to Provincetown (68 miles) raising $14662.00 and the ride was supported by 23 Cardinal Sins crew members fulfilling almost every job from staffing pit stops driving support vehicles logistics and year round planning and leadership on the steering committee. 100% of the funds raised went directly to the organizations for prevention education treatment and research.</p>
<p>When the ride was completed organizers announced the fundraising totals by team. Dignity/Boston with approximately 100 members and approximately one third of its community participating as riders or crew came in ahead of a Fortune 500 bank.</p>

She challenged family friends and neighbors to support the cause and in return for reaching her goal she would promise to wear a dress to church every Sunday in October (not her usual churchgoing attire.)
