It's not every day that an 88-year-old legend of the silver screen writes you a personal note of thanks and encouragement, but that's exactly what one DORIS DAY did for the riders and roadies of AIDS/LifeCycle 2012!

Ms. Day, whose dear friend Rock Hudson died of AIDS, had a friend riding in ALC this year. She followed the progress of the event via the stories, pictures and videos on the AIDS/LifeCycle website.

Needless to say, she was impressed and sent a heartfelt note that was read aloud to all of the riders on the last leg of their trek.

See what she had to say after the jump!
