Collin Ellingson Participates in AV200!

Congratulations to our very own Collin Ellingson for his participation in the Aids Vaccine 200 Ride.  This is the first year Collin participated in the AV200, a 200-mile bike ride through the Georgia countryside over a 2-day period.  The race starts at Emory School of Medicine, traveling the tough 100 miles to Rock Eagle Campground and returning to Emory the next day.

Building awareness and raising money to finding a cure for HIV/AIDS is 100-fold harder than the back-to-back centuries these riders take on, both with challenges of their own.  Out of 150 cyclists who participated, Collin was among the top ten fundraisers for this year’s ride, raising $5,000!  Because the event is fully subsidized through sponsors and volunteers, 100% of all funds raised go to the Emory Vaccine Center, which is at the forefront of AIDS vaccine research.

This is just one of the many ways that NRT Development Advisors’ executives give back to our community.  To view photos and learn more about this great cause, visit at the AV200 site.
