Who are we?
Team Eagle has been a part of Cycle for the Cause since 2006 when it was originally the Northeast AIDS ride.
Cycle for the Cause is an annual three-day, 275-mile, charity bike ride from Boston to New York City that raises millions to fund The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in the fight against AIDS. Together we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people living with HIV and AIDS gain access to affordable care and medication, supported their mental health through individual and group counseling, and ultimately helped them live happy and healthier lives.
Not only does Team Eagle commit to raising beyond the $2,750 minimum each year (Team Eagle doesn't do minimums), but we work to end the stigma of HIV through visibility, advocacy, and the Positive Peddlers program as some of these team members are, themselves, living with HIV.
We ride because the story of AIDS isn’t over,
but it can be.
We ride because history doesn’t happen to us,
it happens because of us.
We decide which stories will define our generation.
Here’s how to join:
1.
Pick a Role
You can join as a Rider, as Crew, you can participate virtually, or you can just donate! There’s an option for everyone.
2.
Raise Funds
You’ll be an inspiration once you tell people what you’re doing! And we’ll help you reach your fundraising goal.
3.
Hit the Road
We have training plans to support! When it comes to the ride, from hotels to meals to rest stops, you’re covered!
“There is good in the world and there is community and there is different family than just the one that you’re born into.”

We will be getting on our bikes and conditioning our bodies to ride 275 miles over 3 days to reach that 1 destination:
To end AIDS
