I'm posting this morning's track list to congratulate Christina for winning this, the final, week's random drawing! Christina won a $10 gift card to Starbucks! Today's highlighted cause is the Product (RED)(www.red.org) campaign started in 2006 by Bono, the lead singer of U2. I thought it only appropriate that we spotlight (RED) during the Ride with Tommy!'s Red Line Ride and by playing U2's single, "Invisible" from which all download proceeds benefit (RED). The (RED) organization works with the world’s most iconic brands and organizations to develop (RED)-branded products and services, that when purchased, trigger corporate giving to the Global Fund (www.theglobalfund.org). These contributions are then invested in HIV/AIDS programs in Africa, with a focus on countries with high prevalence of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The goal is to create the first AIDS-free generation by eliminating the transmission of HIV from HIV+ mothers to their babies. Today's technology has made it possible. (RED) hopes to make it a reality! By the year 2015! Starbucks is just one of the "iconic brands" that has partnered with (RED) and since joining (RED) in 2008, has contributed more than $11 million! I actually had an old Starbucks (RED) gift card upon which I uploaded the $10.00 to give away as the random drawing. So please visit the websites listed here for more information on this amazing cause and help out in any way you can! And I replayed my track list from Valentine's Day because that track list and this cause both have so much "heart"! Thanks to everyone for your participation in and your support of the Ride with Tommy!

And as we celebrated our resolutions and Kayla's win, we also gave a shout out to two organizations that help make a positive change in the world, that help make a difference. The It Gets Better Project (www.itgetsbetter.org), whose mission is to communicate to LGBT youth around the world that it does indeed get better, and the Give A Damn Campaign (www.wegiveadamn.org), a project of the True Colors Fund, founded by Cyndi Lauper, that works to inspire and engage everyone, especially the straight community, to get involved in the advancement of LGBT equality. Please take a moment of your time to visit the websites of these organizations to learn more about them and the work that they do. Let's all make a change. A change in ourselves. A change in the world around us!

So today was a special Valentine's Day Red Line Ride. If you didn't know already, the Red Line Ride is a heart rate monitor based class where you wear a heart rate monitor and see your heart rate projected on a screen at the front of class. It is a highly visual class with numbers and colors to help educate and motivate you to work harder as you learn more about what your heart does as you workout. It is a really fun class! Crunch was the first in the world to offer this type of class 5 years ago in January of 2009 with the Suunto Fitness Solution as the technology! And I put together a special track list to celebrate Valentine's Day, a day long associated with affairs of the heart, as we participated in this week's Red Line Ride, where we can monitor the physical activities of our hearts!

Also, I continued to choose a random winner each week to Celebrate February Resolutions, a commitment to change, and help raise awareness for a group, cause or movement that is trying to create a positive change in the world. Last week, in Saturday's Ride with Tommy!, I gave Cole a Crunch gift bag as we gave a shout out to the Uprising of Love organization which was created by Dustin Lance Black, Bruce Cohen, Linda Wallem and Melissa Etheridge. Uprising Of Love was created to support the LGBTI community in Russia and to raise awareness among the international community regarding the harrassment and violence the LGBTI community faces there in Russia. I also played the song, "Uprising of Love" written by Melissa Etheridge specifically for the organization. Well, I am a host of the Los Angeles Awards Dinner for the Family Equality Council which held their event at Universal Studios last Saturday night. Melissa was a special guest there and performed the same song that I played in class that morning! Coincidence? Fate? Universal synergy? Well, that leads me to this weeks special organization announcement. Ride with Tommy! regular, Elke, won the drawing for a Starbucks gift card as I announced that the Family Equality Council was this weeks special organization! The Family Equality Council connects, supports, and represents the three million parents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender in this country and their six million children. The Family Equality Council is working to change attitudes and policies to ensure that all families are respected, loved, and celebrated. Another extremely worthy organization so very worthy of my humble shout out this week. Please visit their website, www.familyequality.org, for more information and to learn what you can do to help!

And this morning's random drawing prize went to Cole and was given away to help raise awareness for Uprising of Love (http://www.uprisingoflove.org). Take a look at the final "running" song of class today, Melissa Etheridge's "Uprising of Love." Melissa is the co-founder of Uprising of Love and wrote this song specifically for this organization. The proceeds from this song go directly to help and support the LGBT community in Russia. So please, buy this song or make a donation if you can! Each week in February I will be giving away a small prize at random in a different class each week while giving a "shout out" to a different charity or cause. I'm doing this to Celebrate February Resolutions! If you've already made new year resolutions, commit to them even more now! If you didn't make them this year or if you did and haven't fully committed to them, now is the perfect time to do it! Or even if you don't believe in resolutions, just celebrate the fact that you are committed to your own health, fitness and well-being! I appreciate so much that you have chosen the Ride with Tommy! to help you in your fitness goals. I am inspired and motivated by your commitment. I believe in the change you can make in even the smallest increment. I've been talking a lot about change in this new year of 2014. For the month of January, I've been asking you to commit to change. Whether it be the smallest change in your workout in class, or the desire to commit and make a bigger difference in the results you get from your commitment in class, I have focused on the change being in you and your workout. Well now in February, the second month of the new year, I'm asking to add another element to your focus...the element of changing the world around you. The Uprising of Love movement is supporting the LGBT community in Russia as we have become witness to a horrific denial of basic human rights there just as the world's spotlight is thrust on the Olympics in Sochi. It has been said that change begins with you. I want you to experience the positive change that you can make in yourself by committing to your workouts as a way to improve and lengthen your life. And now I hope you can realize the change you can make in the world by committing, even in the smallest way, to movements, causes or organizations that help to defend or improve lives of people near to you or even those across the world. Thanks for being a part of this. Thanks for being a part of the Ride with Tommy!
