Chris is blogging for Elton John’s Aids Foundation and seems pretty lonely on her section of the Blogosphere! Stop by and offer your support, financial or moral – both are encouraged!
Speaking of lonely, is there a lonelier disease than AIDS? If there is, I can’t think of it. Just imagine. Sigh.
When I was surfing through the Blogathon Campaigns I didn’t see many people blogging for AIDS charities and it made me sad (and a little surprised – I thought I’d see more).
I have spent a lot of time talking to people on AIDS message boards over the years. Sometimes as a volunteer and sometimes as a paid moderator and their stories of loneliness and fear are heartwrenching, to say the least. And then there are the people who don’t have a clue about what HIV/AIDS is, how it can be contracted and who is actually at risk (which is anyone, not just gay men!).
Elton John’s Aids Foundation is working to raise money to help increase education and awareness and care for those with the disease. It’s a worthy cause and a cause that has touched you, whether you know it or not.
Stop by and encourage Chris as she blogs today (and tonight). Sponsor her if you can or just say hello! She’s doing a good thing, make sure you let her know you support her.
