AIDSWalk 25th Anniversary

This last Sunday was AIDSWalk San Francisco’s 25th Anniversary, and coincidently, my 25th Anniversary too.  I’ve walked in every walk since it started.  It’s a great cause and very easy to do.

It was a great day for walking-it was cool but not cold and foggy; great for my meditative walk.  I got an early start, so I did not walk with my 25,000 closest friends!  I started out the day where it all started; at my very first home on Funston Ave. in the Inner Sunset.  I was driving by and found a great parking space; fate.

According to promoter statistics, the event raised just over $3 million dollars.  The numerous benefiting Bay Area AIDS Service Organizations will be greatly helped by these contributions.  An interesting statistic: since it’s inception, AWSF has generated $77 Million in donations!

 

 

Thanks to my fiercely loyal supporters, I raised over $3,600 to date.  There is still time to donate.  If you haven’t already donated, please visit my AIDSWalk home page here.
