AIDS Walk Houston

March 9, 2008

I’m walking in this bad boy. Haha, it’s not really a bad boy. It’s only a 5K.

Walk with us or donate to support our team!

Anyone can join our team. You do not have to be affiliated with our organization to walk with us!

The 19th Annual AIDS Walk Houston will take place on Sunday, March 9. It is an exciting 5K walk event that raises money for HIV/AIDS initiatives throughout Houston, increases community awareness and educates Houstonians about HIV/AIDS.

The funds that participants raise supports education and pediatric programs, provides housing, food, medical care, counseling, and job training to more than 100,000 Houstonians each year.

Incredible progress has been made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, but a cure has not been found. Individuals continue to contract HIV at an alarming rate right here in our city.

Now, more than ever, we need to join to fight this preventable disease that is affecting so many individuals in Houston and the world.

Yeah, our team walked in this event also and we thought it was only going to be 5k(3.1 miles). It actually was 8 miles. We all did finish and was very proud of ourselves for making it that far especially since we all had been practicing for only 3.1 miles. But they really should have had their information correct. 8 miles is a lot longer. We had a great time all the same. thanks.

Do you really think it was 8 miles? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t 8 miles! It felt a bit longer than 3 but I don’t think I would have been able to walk 8 miles without being more exhausted!
