AIDS Walk New York - THANK YOU SO MUCH!#1

Posted: 4/9/08 at 1:31am

Hey folks... I hate to be that girl that comes on BWW and asks for your hard earned money, but it's a good cause, so here goes...

I am participating in AIDS Walk New York 2008 on May 18th. This walk means a great deal to me for a couple of reasons. My dad's cousin died of AIDS when I was 16. There were hushed whispers at his funeral about the "cancer" he died of. It wasn't until I met his lover that I knew the truth. He wasn't allowed to come to the house after the funeral. We weren't even allowed to discuss him or suggest that he should be included. The stigma of the disease was something that left a lasting impression on me. Thank God things have gotten better. I have three friends back home that are living with HIV, one of which is my cousin's former lover. Thanks to great medications, I can happily say they are all very healthy. When I was in Tennessee, I was very involved with activities and fundraising. This is the first opportunity I have had since moving up here to get involved.

Now the fun part... Please consider sponsoring me on the walk. I have a little site set up to take donations. It only accepts donations over $25, but I can take smaller donations through PayPay. Instructions for both are on the site.

Thank you so much for reading this and considering helping out.

I apologize in advance for the bumping of this that I plan on doing in the next few weeks.

I know you have nothing but good intentions for doing this, but I'm sure the fact that you might run into Sara out there doesn't hurt.

I kid.

Bump!

Well, of course I will... We're walking together! Nah, I would not expect her to be there. lol They are working 6 12+ hour days out in LA. Sad that I know that, huh?

While the guy I work for told me that he wouldn't be making a donation because he, "just can't go there," (wtf does that mean??) my grandparents sent me a check for $100. They are so adorable.

That's right, Somms.

Amber, be on the look out for a cute little Irishman.

Oh, and it's probably better for your working relationship to not know what he meant by that.

FYI, the site did not seem to like firefox very much.

Good luck - raise gobs of money.

I really admire you for doing this. I've been wanting to walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day for a while now, but I don't think I'd be able to raise the money.

Hey, you're doing pretty good there, Girl.

Btw, you can donate less than $25.00. There's a link on the page that tells you how.

Edit: Oops, you did say that in your first post. Oh well, you know how I like to repeat things.

Best of Luck! Can you take cash donations? I'd love to donate by check or debit, but my bank account won't be in decent enough shape until June. Sending good vibes your way!

I can absolutely take check donations. There is a form on the site you can print out and mail it in or I could give you my address. Any little bit helps. I have a check from a friend and my Nana that I have to turn in the day of!

I'm participating in the walk as well (thus my signature). I hate to feel like a scouter but I would appreciate any donations as well... as long as they are at least $25 (not my rules of course). A link to my donation page can be found in my signature and sorry again but as Jerseygirl said, it really is a great cause!

I guess I could always do a money order instead of cash... It won't be much but every little bit helps!

Amber -
I just put in a donation and temporarily went crazy and typed in Tink's name instead of yours. Please forgive and believe me - the CC information I put in was CORRECT!
