AIDSWALK NEW YORK

May 11, 2009 00:20

So next Sunday, May 17th is the AIDSWALK for GMHC.

And, I'm walking for my company's team.

How about sponsoring me some?

I remember trickles of information about AIDS coming up back in the early 80's. By the time I was in 8th grade, I read about it in the Village Voice, listening to my mother talk about how it was affecting people she knew in the fashion and design world.

Growing up in the New York area, you may not have known someone who was HIV positive, but you could see it's affects and damage. I was lucky to go to a school that treated sex education and the health of it's students seriously, and regularly promoted safe-sex. I've known people who've lived, and died fighting HIV.

I've been able to volunteer here and there, to do a little bit to help the fight. This is my second year walking with my company's team. If you can't walk yourself, if you aren't sponsoring anyone else...

How about sponsoring me some?
