A weeklong bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles raised $11.7 million for HIV/AIDS organizations in San Francisco and Los Angeles, AIDS/LifeCycle organizers announced.

On Sunday morning, more than 2,000 participants set out from Cow Palace on a 7-day, 545-mile ride to Los Angeles to support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

As the world's largest fundraising event for HIV/AIDS services, AIDS/LifeCycle aims to fund services and testing and remind others that the HIV epidemic is over.
