Kiehl's will donate a total of $150,000 to amfAR over the course of this year's events and activities, and at the conclusion of this year's ride, Kiehl's LifeRide for amfAR will have ridden more than 12,000 miles since 2010, and raised more than $1.9 million, funding ten cure-related research projects.
