From the article:
Mark Haines – who founded the website Mark’s List – was taking part in the SMART Ride, which raises money for a number of local LGBT and HIV/AIDS charities, including The Pride Center, AIDS Help and Pridelines Youth Services.
He had just completed the first leg of the 165-mile ride from Miami to Key West, and was on foot when he was struck by three vehicles, crossing a road in the Florida Keys.
