Chicago Documentary Filmmaker captures charity athletes during the RIde for AIDS in Wisconsin

For the past 11 years, the Ride for AIDS Chicago has raised millions of dollars for TPAN (Test Positive Aware Network) which provides services for those living with HIV and AIDS as well as testing for the infection.
