AIDS Walk

[gr4ph1kP4ND4]

Hey everyone!
i know most of you have little money to spare, but i'm walking in the AIDS walk in NYC soon!
i have set a personal fundraising goal of $1,000 (i know, its a lot...) and i would be so amazed if i were able to reach it, but i won't be able to unless i start asking around.

The money will go directly to GMHC (Gay Mens' Health Crisis) which is a completely non-profit, volunteer-run organization that invests in scientific research, legal time and advocacy, and most importantly in the lives of those who suffer from HIV/AIDS. GMHC helps over 15,000 families affected by HIV/AIDS in NYC by giving them shelter, education, medical assistance, emotional and financial support and more importantly a shoulder to lean on.

In New York there are more than:
126,849 people diagnosed with HIV
77,544 people diagnosed with AIDS

and in NYC alone there are more than 214,870 people who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS

GHMC can only help 15,000 of those people, but with every dollar we earn we can raise the bar, and bring science a step closer to new medications, vaccinations and maybe even a cure.

if you have any questions for me, comment or message me, i'll try to be as available as possible!
if you want to donate just ask!
any donation from $1 to $100+ is welcome, and even if you have no money to spare, spread the word because the first part of changing the world is simply acknowledging a that there is a problem.


most importantly, thanks for reading this message, regardless of what you do with this information!

thanks
a lot of AIDS/HIV cases are actually passed from mother to child very often through breastfeeding. Most people who have HIV/AIDS don't actually know they have it, and may breastfeed a child thus passing on the disease. It's a vicious cycle... which is why i need to raise money

their faults.

[gr4ph1kP4ND4]

is it your fault that you catch a cold?

their faults.

Way wrong thing to say.

their faults.

AIDS can be caught so many different ways. Even Blood transfusions can have a slight risk of giving AIDS to someone. Tattooist, or even doctors for that fact, that don't use sterilized needles can transfer AIDS.

Not everything revolves around Sex and not every sufferer is a slut that sleeps with 20 people. It's a disease that is spread by blood, and that can be transferred so many different ways.

Wow, it's no one's fault to get AIDS, I don't think any one person would want that. You could be helping someone who was injured and if you touch their blood and then rub your eye, you have aids. It's a serious matter and not everyone who is affected got it from sex.
