East Bay AIDS Walk, Sept. 6, 2008

Yesterday, hundreds of people gathered at the tenth annual East Bay AIDS Walk. Better attended than in years past, we had a fun time, raising awareness and money for a worthy cause. AIDS is one of the number one killers of black men under 25. It is perhaps second to handgun violence, if it isn't first. Visit www.eastbayaidswalk.org to make a donation and see how you can help stop the spread of this disease. There is a celebration dinner for walkers and planners, volunteers and sponsors, October 2, I will bring a reportback of how much money was raised and perhaps have Joe Hawkins, the founder, on my radio show the following morning, Friday, October 3.
