AIDS Walk San Francisco 2007

We do more than weddings! We support those in need as well. Yesterday Elegant Weddings & Events by Design walked 6 miles for AIDS Walk San Francisco. We were very excited about the event. As we all know, this is a very important issue to us so we set an ambitious fundraising goal of $1500. We wanted to do as much as we could to make a difference in the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS. Even though there has been a lot of publicity about drug treatments which are prolonging some people's lives, they don't work for everyone and there is still no cure in sight. Moreover, young people are still getting infected at alarmingly high rates.

This year my 3 children (Miguel - 16, Mechiala - 13 & Mechella - 8) also raised money on their own. This caught the attention of a few people at AIDS Walk Headquarters. My son Miguel, who is 16, was interviewed about his efforts. I will have to attach a copy of the interview that was published in the news article passed out during the walk. Thanks again to all of our friend's and vendors that contributed and supported our efforts. We raised $1675!!! It's not too late to contribute. It's not to late to help make a change!
