Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page for the 2006 AIDS Life Walk.  I am dedicating this years participation in the walk to my friend Michael who just passed away July 1st of this year.  He was supported and taken care of by a local Hospice which receives support from donations such as yours.

Without these donations, we wouldn't be able to continue to make great strides in research and help support our local charities.  Any donation you make, no matter what size is greatly appreciated.  I've been seeing first hand how your donations are used due to the fact of losing someone very close to me this year.  He wouldn't have gotten the care he deserved without the help of people like you.

The generosity of readers, friends and family continues to touch our hearts every year that I raise money for this cause.  Everyone of us have been touched in some way by this disease.  We have either lost someone close to us or know of someone who lives with this disease every day.  Please find it in your heart to donate.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too.

Thanks so much!
