AIDS Walk DC

On Saturday, October 3rd, I will join thousands of other people in the 23rd annual AIDS Walk Washington. This event is a 5K fundraising walk and timed run, benefiting and produced by Whitman-Walker Clinic. I am doing the walk, with a large group of my friends and fellow students, and would really appreciate your support.

My fundraising goal is $500, and I kicked things off with a $15 donation. For me, this is all about giving what you can. The lowest amount you can donate is $5, but even that would be greatly appreciated. I'm giving what I can: my time, my ruggedly sexy legs (hehe), and a small donation. All I am asking is for you to give whatever you can.

Click here to visit my page and support me.

If you donate, not only will you be supporting me, but your money will be going to Washington DC's Whitman Walker Clinic. Whitman-Walker Clinic is a nonprofit, community-based organization founded in 1973 that provides affordable, accessible and high-quality health services to the Washington metropolitan area. With the advent of the AIDS epidemic, the Clinic became a leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In addition to medical care, the Clinic’s services include HIV testing and counseling, addiction services, a day treatment center, mental health programs, legal services and an at-cost pharmacy providing HIV medication. You can find out more about the Clinic at www.wwc.org.

Your contribution will help Whitman-Walker Clinic provide critical services to those living with HIV/AIDS. Every dollar brings hope and provides needed care. Please visit my personal fundraising website to make a secure online donation. You can also print a donation form at my website if you prefer to mail your donation. Checks should be made payable to AIDS Walk Washington and mailed to PO Box 73768, Washington DC 20056-3768. All contributions are 100 percent tax deductible.

Again, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read this. And a special thanks to those of you who take the time to visit my page. Thank you all for your support and generosity.
