In need of AIDS Walk Donations!

Ok, I hate to hit you up for money, but it's for such a good cause! On Sunday October 17th, I will walk in the 15th annual Walk For AIDS Silicon Valley. HIV/AIDS continues to be a deadly disease that causes much heartache, pain and suffering for thousands in our community. Yes, the miracle drugs once touted as a cure have indeed taken some from their deathbeds back to the working world. Yet, at the same time, many others still cannot tolerate the extreme side effects of these drugs. Others have grown resistant to these drugs, putting them back to square one, waiting for the next door to open, hoping for another answer.

Young people between the ages of 16-24 and our communities of color are becoming infected with HIV at alarming rates, making education, awareness and prevention among these groups extremely important. I’ve seen the impact individual donations are making in the following ways:
- Funding for HIV/AIDS support groups for monolingual Spanish-speakers
- HIV Prevention Workshops and presentations involving thousands of teens, and street outreach to high-risk youth
- Direct legal services
- Workshops targeting homeless, including condom distribution to at-risk adults

Could you please help me make my personal goal of a $1000 contribution? Since I am walking on the Mac Team, for every dollar I raise, it's like raising two because the company will match it!!

You can go to the website listed below to check out the stats of the walk and to donate to my team!

Thanks in advance,
