Former Philadelphia Mayor John Street - - Oh wait, he's still in office? My bad!

This was a busy weekend in Philadelphia as far as charitable events is concerned including the annual AIDS Walk, which was yesterday. The weather couldn't have been any more beautiful for the 12K Walk/10K run that started at the Art Museum. I heard a report on KYW that stated $350,000 was counted so far and that wasn't even the final. There were all types of people there from the elderly, elementary - high school students, fraternities, sororities, and other various organizations throughout the Delaware Valley. Those that didn't run or walk took to riding their bikes or rollerblading. Because of federal budget cuts, the state of Pennsylvania is expected to lose several million dollars for HIV/AIDS services. That is obvious evidence why this walk is still a necessity 26 years after the epidemic started. It's not too late to donate by the way....see link below. I gotta go soak my tired bones...all so, so worth it. OUCH!! Pictures from 2007 AIDS Walk Philly ActionAIDS
