Reminder

Dec 01, 2005 09:32

In observance of World AIDS Day today, I implore you all to please visit http://www.lighttounite.org/ if you haven't already. If you let the page load, you can choose to "light" a candle anywhere in the world. Just choose the place, and choose why you're lighting it. I decided to light mine for remembrance.

For every candle lit, they will donate $1 to AIDS research.

Now they are going to donate a minimum of $100,000 but- if we can get more candles than that lit, think of all the extra money that will be donated. Think how easy it is to give. Just a few clicks of the mouse, and you've helped fund a worthy cause, without ever having to leave your chair.

Give it a try...

I also urge you to continue to educate yourselves and get tested. For those of you local- Kent County does free testing. They happen to be open late on Thursdays as well. There has been a ton of research and advancement since the epidemic broke out. However, we haven't advanced enough as we still do not have a cure and it is still very much an epidemic. It hasn't gone away nor will it until we make a serious change- mainly in the way we think.

(*steps down from soapbox*)

Thanks for your time guys!
