filed under: rant and rage, world aids day

wow. can it really be a year since i last posted about world aids day?

this marks the fifth year running that i’ve posted about this day. and while in previous years, i’ve done stuff privately for the cause of hiv/aids, this year i asked all of you to help too, by sponsoring me for the royal parks half marathon on behalf of unicef’s “born free” campaign.

together we raised £500 to help fight the spread of hiv in the worlds most vulnerable areas. thank you so much again. and if you didn’t get a chance to contribute before, you can still do so.

i’d like to try to turn this into an annual thing – doing one public charity fundraiser a year for hiv/aids causes. i’ll let you know what i decide to do for 2009.

because in the meantime, aids hasn’t gone away. year after year, it only gets worse.  another 2 million people have died.

we can’t continue to watch it happen, and do nothing.
