Solidarity Cycle is a regional event sponsored by Greater Van Gogos. It is hosted by grandmother groups within Greater Van Gogos. We are part of a national movement of grandmothers and "grand-others" that support the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. We stand in solidarity with African grandmothers who are caring for some of 14 million children orphaned by AIDS. These children are the hope of Africa. We direct our fundraising to the Stephen Lewis Foundation because they put the money directly into the hands of community-based organizations that are working to turn the tide of AIDS.
As a gesture of solidarity with African grandmothers we call ourselves "gogos" which is the Zulu word for "grandmothers."
