More than 1.2 million people in the United States are estimated to be living with HIV. This is a first since the height of the AIDS epidemic during the 1980s. To help raise money that helps us move closer to ending the suffering caused by HIV and AIDS, Damon L. Jacobs and I are walking in AIDS Walk New York this year. Since 1986, AIDS Walk New York has raised more than $105 million for HIV programs and services in the tri-state area, and has grown into the largest AIDS fundraising event in the world. In 2009 alone, 45,000 participants, many of whom were members of 2,880 corporate and community teams, raised a record sum of over $5.6 million for Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) and 50 other local AIDS service organizations.
To support our efforts, feel free to donate to the links below. This is a cause very important to us and we appreciate your support.
