For every $1k we raise, we pledge to walk 1km in heels at the Vancouver AIDS Walk
The entire walk is 10km long, so if we reach our goal of $10,000 we'll be providing 23 persons with HIV/AIDS with access to better healthcare for a full year! (Also we'll be extra tall for the whole walk)
Proceeds from the AIDS Walk go directly to support Positive Living's Complimentary Health Fund (CHF). For up to $35 per month, the CHF supports health-related expenses not covered by other funding sources (more details below).

Vancouver was the first city in Canada to organize an AIDS Walk in 1986. 2012 marks the 27th year that Positive Living Society of BC (formerly known as BCPWA) will be raising awareness and vital funds for those living with HIV and AIDS in Greater Vancouver.
As of 2009, HIV/AIDS affects 13,000 individuals in BC. Positive Living has over 5000 members, many of whom can't afford the costs of staying healthy. The Complimentary Health Fund aims to support health-related expenses associated with HIV that are not covered by other funding sources. This can include gym memberships or even access to vitamins and filtered drinking water.
A donation of $35 will help support someone for a month.
Help the Sisters reach our goal of $10,000 and watch us strut our stuff at Stanley Park on Sunday, Sept 23rd!
