LA AIDS Walk


Oct 24th, 2006 11:30 AM EST
By Amy Quinn, ONE Volunteer, Los Angeles, CA.


It’s been a week already and I am still reeling from our ONE Team’s
participation in the AIDS Walk Los Angeles last Sunday. Over 75 members of our local team braved the traffic, the weather and the 30,000 other inspired and motivated walkers for this special event.


ONE by ONE they showed up…many of them in handmade ONE T-Shirts, many bringing friends and family, many came alone – all of them came for ONE purpose – to raise awareness for the billions of people on this planet who are the victims of extreme poverty and the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.


We gathered in the designated team meeting area on the corner of San Vicente and Santa Monica in West Hollywood. At 10am, just prior to the start of the walk, Page, one of our lead volunteers, read the “Stand-Up” Pledge, and we all stood up and were counted. This was particularly moving for me. I did not know very many of the team participants, but we were all there for the same reason, and we all felt like old friends united for a very big and powerful purpose.


Much of the team managed to stay together for most of the 6.2 mile walk through West Hollywood (no easy feat in a sea of over 30,000) and judging from the onslaught of emails following the walk, the participants felt that this was a day spent wisely.


I am inspired and my spirit is renewed by their generosity and support.


Thank you to the ONE Campaign Los Angeles Team, for steping out of your comfort zone, your weekend, your hectic lives – and giving a part of yourselves for others.
