GB AIDS Walk!

October 2nd was beautiful and bright! Lucky for me, because in Washington Park, local organizations who address the issue of HIV/AIDS and their supporters were gathering for the annual AIDS walk. I was there with my much loved chihuahua Malai, my friend and fellow Public Ally Nydia, and her boyfriend. We were Team Scott Pilgrim vs. AIDS!

Yeah, we're big dorks.

Anyway, there was music, dancing, and lots of good feeling. Free and confidential testing was available for anyone (and still is at the Greater Bridgeport Adolescent Pregnancy Program - gbapp.org). We helped raise funds for the Greater Bridgeport HIV/AIDS Care Consortium, an organization that provides care and resources for people living with HIV/AIDS. Overall, it was a great event and a great cause!

And now, prepare yourself for the bundle of cuteness that is my dog!

Malai even has her own AIDS awareness ribbon! So as we went throughout our day, we could tell other people about the walk and continue spreading AIDS awareness and education.
