Again this year I will be joining the masses in Philadelphia on October 19th to participate in the AIDS Walk.
Why a walk? Well, all the cool kids do it to raise money for good causes, of course!
Here’s the deal: Over 600,000 Americans have died from AIDS since 1981 when the first case was diagnosed. And AIDS isn’t over. People are still getting HIV/AIDS. In fact, this year, over 1.2 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the highest number ever recorded. The world is losing too many people to this disease.
For more facts about HIV/AIDS check out one of these sites:
Help me raise $300 for the AIDS Fund by going to my donation website.
You can also make a general donation to the Philly AIDS Fund or the National AIDS Fund. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
Thanks! :-)
I definitely want to contribute…I really want to walk, but it would be a weekend that I’m out of town. :-( Maybe next year…
