Well it is finally here- the AIDS Walk. Sunday Mike, Miles, and I got out our spirited walking shoes... and walked 6 miles in the AIDS Walk. The morning started early, 9 AM- yea i know! Bagels- check, shoes- check, dog- check... set!
I registered about 2 months ago to raise funds in honor of my Uncle Steven who passed away in 2007. Uncle Steven suffered from AIDS for over 20 years. I have to say he would have been really truly proud to know that we walked in this event- and as my dad said "Steven would have taken a cab" this is probably true :)

I read online a day after and it said that over 25,000 people walked in this event! With over 3.5 million dollars raised!



These were huge memorial quilts for those who have lost their lives in the fight against AIDS.


A little road side entertainment... thank you san francisco!

This was mile 4 but we really did walk 6 miles... we (except Miles) were pretty pooped after all this walking! What a fun meaningful day!
