Friends of Jacob, Zach and I have, for several years, been a part of AIDS Walk NYC and helped raise thousands of dollars for AIDS research and patient support. Since Jacob was born ON the day of the walk this year, we are going to AIDS Walk DC instead! We each have our own fund-raising campaign, but I thought it would be fun to let Jacob in on the action and start his philanthropic work as soon as possible. Since Jacob has only been around for 4 months, his social network is pretty limited, so I thought I'd hit y'all up in addition to his family members :)
He has set the goal of raising $100 for AIDS Walk DC by October 3rd. These funds go to direct services for AIDS/HIV patients through the Whitman Walker Clinic in DC. Washington DC has an AIDS epidemic rate comparable with most of sub-saharan Africa - one in twenty adults in DC are HIV positive.
Please consider sponsoring Jacob's walk (okay, more like a stroller-ride) against AIDS by donating $5, $10, $25...whatever you are able! Help him reach his goal of $100! You can click HERE to get to his fund-raising page. Thanks so much!
