Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! Mookey (aka Ariel), Ralph and I are getting ready for AIDS Walk 2008. This will be our seventh consecutive year participating in this very important event.

HIV means a lot to us personally and the walk is just one way of supporting those we love and care for living with and affected by HIV. This year's walk has special meaning for us; we lost a very close friend in January. Gail was a part of our family, and we miss her dearly. 

Recently, I was asked if HIV is "that bad" anymore; my response: Yes It Is! Granted, people are living longer and there is less stigma than even a decade ago - BUT people are also still getting HIV, still dying and still being discriminated against every single day. So there is still more work that needs to be done and so we continue to walk to raise needed funds to help make a difference.

Last year, thanks to your generosity, we met and passed our fundraising goal! Once again, we're asking for your support. Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated and will help provide needed services for those living with HIV/AIDS.

                       Every donation makes a difference!

"People don't understand that not only can they make a difference, it's their responsibility to do so." - Florence Robinson

                        You and I can make the difference,
                        Begin today and make the difference. 

Thanks in advance for your support! And please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
