AIDS Walk Houston: Reasons I Walk
Sunday, March 14th is the 21st Annual AIDS Walk Houston. This event is a vitally important fundraiser for AIDS Foundation Houston and numerous other service providers whom we allow to raise funds through our Walk. Without the funds raised through AIDS Walk, HIV + Houstonians might have to do without medications, housing, food, and other supportive services to help them increase the quality and duration of their lives.
In addition to being a fundraiser, AIDS Walk Houston is a celebration of life that allows us an opportunity to demonstrate our support of those living with HIV/AIDS. In fact, AIDS Walk is a big party attended by more than 10,000 of your friends and neighbors. There’s food and drink, singers and dancers, speeches, a kiddie corner, and more! It’s a good time and a good cause.
Finally, AIDS Walk Houston provides a way for all of us to honor those who have been lost to the disease and to help raise awareness of HIV/AIDS so that we don’t have to lose more loved ones.
When I think about AIDS Walk Houston, I think about the reasons I walk. As you read my reasons for walking, I hope you will consider your own and join us this Sunday in Sam Houston Park.
My reasons for walking are : Robert, Roger, Danny, Jorge, Jerry, A.B., Freddie, Arthur, Greg, Terry, Joey, Marc, Steve, Glenda, M.J., Debbie, Glenn, Bernie, and the list goes on and on…
