AIDS WALK – STEPPING FORWARD

Between 12,000-15,000 people pounded the pavement at the 26th annual AIDS Walk/Run Oct. 21. The event began with a 5K run and also included a 12K walk. AIDS Fund spokesperson Cari Feiler Bender said the event raised $375,000, the same as last year, which will be used to help AIDS Fund support area HIV/AIDS service organizations. AIDS Fund director Robb Reichard said his agency is “so grateful to the thousands of people who came out to support the 30,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in our region. We couldn’t make a difference without so many loyal supporters, walkers, runners and volunteers. We are so thankful to everyone.” Scott Drake
