I tried to send an e-mail around about it (it was a good one, too) using the form on their site, but I don't think it went through. Uh, anyway... I'm doing the walk next Sunday, with some teammates who are fellow students in my program. Really looking forward to it.
It's 6.2 miles, starting and ending in West Hollywood Park -- this is the route:

I know "soliciting" is discouraged on ILX, but I'm not receiving any of this money -- it's going to AIDS Project Los Angeles and other HIV/AIDS nonprofits.
every $1,000 raised at the AIDS Walk can provide...
* 112 bags of groceries for HIV-infected people and their families.
* 25 hours of counseling for people affected by AIDS.
* 24 dental procedures in a professional and caring environment.
* Treatment education and advocacy for 80 people living with HIV.
I have a little webpage where you can donate any amount you wish (from one dollar to serious Bill & Melinda Gates money). I've set my "goal" fairly low -- there's only a week left and I don't think I can get that much fundraising done at a time when I've got two big tests and a paper to write. But every little bit helps, right?

Thanks, and sorry to use the board for this purpose.

New scene - Kramer signing in at the AIDS walk.
KRAMER (to organizer at desk): Uh, Cosmo Kramer?
ORGANIZER: Uh...o.k., you're checked in. Here's your AIDS ribbon.
KRAMER: Uh, no thanks.
ORGANIZER: You don't want to wear an AIDS ribbon?
KRAMER: No.
ORGANIZER: But you have to wear an AIDS ribbon.
KRAMER: I have to?
ORGANIZER: Yes.
KRAMER: See, that's why I don't want to.
ORGANIZER: But everyone wears the ribbon. You must wear the ribbon!
KRAMER: You know what you are? You're a ribbon bully.
ORGANIZER: Hey you! Come back here! Come back here and put this on!
