This Past Sunday, I marched in the 25th Annual "AIDS Walk New York." AIDS Walk New York is the World's Largest AIDS Relief Fund-raising Event, and this year was no exception. All proceeds go to people directly affected by AIDS; whether it be for treatment, supporting family members, or other much needed care. Like always, New York City pulled out all the stops when it came to fighting the good fight, raising this year's grand total of $5,717,610! AND, money isn't due until June 4th, so that number will only increase.
With the help of my friends, family, and a relentless online campaign called Facebook x Friends = HOPE, I was able to surpass my fund-raising goal, coming in at just over $400!! Many thanks to everyone who supported me in this event. The weather was perfect, the crowd was enormous (around 45,000 people!), and the walk was uplifting, to say the least. I can't believe I won't be around next year to be a part of it, but I look forward to participating as an official citizen of the city my next go around. With any luck, future efforts will be raising money to support the cure, not just research in hopes of finding one. And you can bet I'll be bringing more of you with me.
