Do Some Good for Your Community

Gentle Readers,

It’s official: I’ve registered again for the October 17, 2010 AIDS Walk Philly.

My goals for this year’s walk are:

• raise at least $500 and
• walk the 12K in 2 hours.

Donations to my fund-raising effort support local efforts to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and benefits over 30,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in the Philadelphia region.

I hope I can count on your support, be it in a monetary form or helping to spread the word out about my effort. You can visit my participant page for updates on my fund-raising effort and to donate securely online. (Donations are tax-deductible if you're from the U.S.A.!). If you need another way to donate, contact me and we can work something out.

Thanks, in advance, for your consideration.

Just A Little Sore

• 12 K walked
• 2 hours, 12 minutes
• $610 raised

Those are the highlights for my 2009 AIDS Walk Philly participation. Thanks to everyone who supported me with kind thoughts and generous donations.

Now, I'm off to apply a little Icy Hot to my leg and run through some stretching...

AIDS Walk Update

Dear Gentle Readers,

Yep, just one last appeal related to my AIDS Walk Philly participation.

When: I'm walking a 12K this Sunday, starting at 9:30 a.m.
My goal: Raise $600, benefits 30K+ people affected by HIV/AIDS in greater Philly
Funds needed: Just [edited] $15 dollars, as of 9:55 [edited] p.m., ET, today

If you're interested, you can donate securely online using a credit or debit card. Click on that widget at the top of the right column to access my participant page. If you're from the U.S.A., it's a tax-deductible contribution. (If not, know you're supporting a great and important cause.)

Here's hoping that there's at least okay weather on Sunday, or it'll be a cold, damp 2.5 - 3 hours' walk.

Keep It Comin'!

Dear Gentle Readers,

As we wait for some real Flyers news and I wind up my mini blog vacation, I wanted to thank those who've contributed in LARGE and small ways to my 2008 AIDS Walk Philly donation goal.

As of today, I've raised $335 of the $500 goal I set. If you visited my participant page and took a look around, you know that donations to AIDS Fund Philly support HIV/AIDS education, prevention and services in the Delaware Valley region through its 30 partner organizations.

If you're so moved to support my participation in the 12K walk, feel free to:

• Make a secure online donation through my participant page. (If you live in the U.S.A., it's a tax-exempt charitable deduction!)
• If you don't live in the States, consider making a donation to a local HIV/AIDS charity in your area.
• Alternatively, if you can't make a monetary donation, please consider volunteering with a local HIV/AIDS-related charitable organization.
