My personal message:

Thanks for visiting our page and supporting us in the AIDS Walk!! 

Every year Jason and I participate in the AIDS Walk----the proceeds of which support the amazing services of AIDS Rochester.   We walk because this is something about which we are both passionate---and because HIV/AIDS impacts my life personally and professionally every single day.

More than 25 years into the AIDS epidemic, it is clear that not nearly enough has changed.

It is clear that HIV is not going away unless we fight.

It is clear that those hardest hit continue to be some of society's most vulnerable---LGBT people, women, youth, people of color and the poor.

It is clear that change CAN happen...but only if we MAKE it happen!

As I ponder these things, I am inspired by the lyrics of a song by Levi Kreis called "Yes We Can" (included below)...and I am filled with hope as we prepare for this year's walk that, indeed, yes we can make a difference....

....but to do that we are going to need YOUR help!  Last year we set and exceeded a much lower fundraising goal...so this year we've set the bar much higher.  Please consider supporting our energy and efforts by sponsoring us in this year's walk......EVERY donation is appreciated and EVERY penny helps!!

 
Erik & Jason

"Yes We Can"
by Levi Kreis (& featuring Debby Holiday)

What started as a whisper
has swelled into a chorus of millions
crying for change.
This time will be different
cuz we can make a difference
and there's no way I'm gonna
sit around and wait.

No, not any longer.
Not any longer.
If we just stand together
it will only make us stronger.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.
You say it won't change
but I say YES WE CAN.
Let there be healing from shore to shore.
Hear them crying for change
I say YES WE CAN.
