I long for the day when my colleagues and I can deliver that news to you as the lead story. But until that day comes, thousands of our friends who are living with HIV/AIDS need our support and compasion. Your part can be as simple as taking a walk...and I'll join you! On October 18, you and I can walk together in the seventh annual AIDS Walk, - a Nashville CARES Event. Last year, about five thousand of us participated in AIDS Walk. It was a time of unity and giving. It was also a moving display of love and a wonderful tribute to friends we have lost to AIDS. Taking those steps raised almost more than $ 120,000 for Nashville CARES, the only community based support agency in Middle Tennessee for people living with HIV/AIDS. This well-respected not-for-profit agency provides vital support and services like food, housing, counseling, and educational programs for those affected by HIV/AIDS--all free. You can help keep these programs going by registering now and collecting pledges. Simply take a moment, fill out the registration form on our website at http://www.nashvillecares.org . Please join me again this year at the Bicentennial Mall on Sunday, October 18, rain or shine. Our footprints can be a reminder to everyone that much remains to be done - until we get that lead story.
