NOT TOO LATE
Florida AIDS Walk 2011 is less than six weeks away, but it isn’t too late to register and truly make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Florida. The Walk is Sunday, March 28th. Go to HYPERLINK “http://www.aidshealth.org” www.aidshealth.org for more information or if you wish to register as a walker or pull in a few friends if you’d like to form a team! It’s good for you, it’s a fun time, and you’re touching the lives of thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS who need your help! If you can’t walk, but still want to be part of the fight, there are plenty of other ways to participate: register as a “Sleep Walker” and raise money for the cause without showing up on March 20th; sponsor a friend, or a team your friends have joined; sponsor Florida AIDS Walk directly; or, volunteer to help out on the day of the event. If you’re looking for other ideas, call (866) 883-9255.
