Since 1986, AIDS Walk New York has raised $97 million for HIV programs and services in the tri-state area, and has grown into the largest AIDS fundraising event in the world. In 2007 alone, 45,000 participants, many of whom were members of 2,400 corporate and community teams, raised a record sum of more than $6.8 million for Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) and 60 other local AIDS service organizations.

Thanks to everyone’s help, last year, I could reach my $1,000 fundraising goal in one week and $2,395 at the end.  The money was poured in from some of my friends and some people who I did not even know me but happened to find out about my fundraising and compassionately donated the money to help our community to stop this deadly epidemic. Again, thank you so much for everyone’s support. (Please visit last year fundraising page here to see the names of last year donors).

This year, I raise my fundraising goal to $1,500 and hopefully will be more.

This how it works; I am going to be the one who walks (and donates) on May 18 and you guys pledge whatever amount of money you can spare to sponsor my walk. All money that I raise will go to the AIDS Walk New York and they will distribute that money to the HIV related organizations in the tri-states areas in order to fight against AIDS and to improve the lives of thousands of men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS, and those at greatest risk for infection.

Also, you guys are more than welcomed to walk with me on May 18. Last year 45,000 participants crowded the Central Park, my friends and I walked from 60st on the east side cut across the park to the Riverside drive on the far west until 111st. It was a fun three hour walk with people from all walks of life, races, ages and sexual orientations.

Every week I will summarize how much donation I have received and list your names in this web page in order to publicly thank you your generosity to sponsor my walk and fight against HIV and AIDS.

This year, let’s break our goal again and show the HIV and AIDS patients and their family how much we deeply care about them!

Please forward this web page to your friends and family and encourage them to sponsor this wonderful event!!
