HEY, TORONTO! WE STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO WALK ABOUT.
Thank you for supporting the 2012 Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life Toronto. This event would not be possible without you! In 2012 we’re asking every Torontonian to take note: HIV/AIDS is a reality in our communities. In Toronto: 1 in 4 new HIV diagnoses are among youth under 30 1 in 5 new HIV diagnoses are among women 1 in 5 gay men live with HIV

Last year, the AIDS Walk Toronto raised well over $475,000. This year, we have set a goal of raising $500,000. Funds raised will support the work of the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT). ACT delivers services for people living with, affected by and at risk for HIV/AIDS. A community leader in health promotion and prevention, ACT has helped our city remain strong throughout the AIDS epidemic. Every day, two Torontonians contract HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Preventing one HIV infection saves $370,000 in direct costs over a lifetime. More people than ever are living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto. Our work is far from over. Thank you again for joining the fight against HIV/AIDS. Register. Donate. Walk. aidswalktoronto.ca
