AIDS Walk fundraising

Hi All,

Just a quick note to let you all know I am doing the AIDS Walk again this year. I know it's been a tough year for many of us financially, but if you're getting a tax return, it'd be extra awesome of you if you could toss $10, $25, $50...whatever, toward sponsoring me in the Walk. You can donate here if you are able:

Any and all donations are a huge help and are greatly appreciated. All donations are tax deductible. I also encourage you to sign up to walk and fundraise! It’s a good time, for a good cause, and it’s good for you.

Thanks!

PS. Here are some fun facts about the AIDS walk and GMHC:
~AIDS Walk New York stands out as a model of community action and cost-efficient fundraising. The priority has always been to have the money raised go directly to vital services to help people living with HIV or AIDS.

~AIDS Walk New York benefits GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis), the nation's oldest and most comprehensive AIDS Service organization. The organization's staff of 189 and 7,000 dedicated volunteers provide services to more than 15,000 men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS and their families.

~A portion of the net proceeds from the AIDS Walk also goes to dozens of other AIDS organizations within the tri-state area.
