I cannot forget that we're fighting AIDS in this country! Was there raising money in the very beginning in Atlanta before we knew what it was - lost more friends than I care to mention! Thanks for keeping the message alive!

That's absolutely wonderful news! We need to raise money to help end this disease. We also need to end the stigma still associated with HIV/AIDS. I applaud amfAR for its dedication and commitment to raise money in the fight against AIDS. Personally, I'd like to see more AIDS prevention programs in high schools. I've spoken at high school on AIDS awareness and prevention and the students are finally getting the message.
