Boston Bodyworker Massage Therapist to Ride from Boston to Providence in AIDS Benefit Bike Ride

aids ride willOur very own Will McNiece will be riding in this year’s Aids Ride. Please help us in supporting him and this important charity.

Hello, My name is Will and I’ve been a practicing LMT at the Boston Bodyworker for the past two years.

In September, I will be participating in a one day bike ride from Boston to Provincetown. This is to raise funds and awareness for a charity that is close to my heart, AIDS ACTION COMMITTEE, New England’s oldest and largest AIDS service organization.

100% of your donations go directly to the charity to help individuals who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Monies raised will help cover medical costs, counseling, legal consultation, safer sex kits and even provide stock for the kitchen at their homeless youth drop in center.

Donations can be made online and additional information about the bike ride and charity can be found at: https://www.harbortothebay.org/profile/willmcniece

In you have any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you so much for your time and generosity
Will McNiece (Cyclist #80)
