On Sunday, September 21st I'll be taking part in this year's Aids Walk for Life. It's a 10 km walk around Stanley Park's seawall or a 2.5 km walk around Lost Lagoon. All of the money raised for the event is used to help British Columbians infected with HIV/Aids and their families.
This particular issue hits home for my family and I. We lost a loved one to an Aids related illness 15 years ago. A cure needs to be developed so hundreds of families in Canada do not have to lose someone they love each year.
Do your part and help by making a donation on my fundraising page, or better yet register for the event and participate in the walk as well!
For more information regarding the event please visit www.bcpwa.org
I also encourage you to take a look at the Canadian Association For Aids Research website. You'll likely be shocked to learn the statistics regarding the number of Canadians affected by this disease. Tens of thousands of people in the world die everyday from HIV/Aids, and it's time we help put a stop to it. www.canfar.ca
