Background:
Well this was an idea that clicked in our mind on the last day of the International AIDS Conference, Mexico City 2008, We wanted to fill the gap againg between the cosecutive year of the IAS, The precursures of the idea using Hot Air Balloon was a discussion with David Muller, "What's next after this AIDSRIDE2008, Toronto to Mexico City bike ride project you did????!!! The idea came out after confronting a challenge to cross ocean.....no biking biking anymore....the probability of balloon use came on!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats the spark how AIDS Ride 2010 figured out!!!!!! Well, looking to our statistics, the epidemeology of the pandemic, where India draws major attention to confront and combat the serious problem of HIV. As a place where B'Care is located in India, I see a dangerous fig to look at. An estimate of more than 5.21 million Indians. Approx. I% constitutes of Adult prevalence in India.
The Canadians of 58,000 and Mexicans of 180,000 are living with HIV as of 2005. Cant imagine the current levels of transmission!
