AIDS WALK

Oct 22ed is coming fast

Hoodie info
The last day I'll accept donation notes will be October 19th! That gives you pleanty of time. I'll announce the winner of the hoodie on the 20th!



Introduction
Over 25 million people have been lost to AIDS so far, and 4.3 million people were infected with HIV in 2006. The spread of HIV is quickening, with more people infected in 2006 than in any previous year.

Information, education and communication are among the most important elements in the response to AIDS. To be effective information must be understood and believed and it's no surprise to anyone reading this that there is a negative stigma associated with this disease.


How Can I help?
" Donate to The Philadelphia AIDS Walk that happens on October 21st!
`GeneratingHype cannot walk this year, due to ill health, but his sister *EveningDownpour will be walking in his place.

you can also Donate here

of course and you can also spread the word.
You can post a link to This News Article in your journal

there's even a nifty stamp

and of course you can just show Bill and his sister some random devious love of course.

:pointr: You can support *EveningDownpour in her Philadelphia Aids Walk




:pointr: Read the information in the links below and educate yourselves, educate your friends, your family, whoever. Get the word out about the truth and help us break the stigma.

:pointr: Steal the CSS and post information about this cause in your journal

:pointr: Sport the avatar
