Join the 2009 AIDS Walk New York - - The World's Largest AIDS Fundraiser

AIDS Walk New York is an annual fundraising walk sponsored by the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC). 2009 marks the 24th year of AIDS Walk New York, which has raised almost $100 million for AIDS charities nationwide (more than $6.8 million in 2007 alone). Singer/actress Hilary Duff will lead thousands of New Yorkers and out-of-towners in a walk to raise money to help people with HIV and AIDS.

The 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) walk begins and ends in Central Park. Hilary Duff will co-host the opening ceremony and lead a team of walkers. Sarah Dash of Labelle and Gold Streets will also provide entertainment

Walk with your friends, family and co-workers to raise urgently needed funds and send the message that the AIDS crisis is not over. AIDS remains a serious public health issue and your help is needed.

As of June 2004, more than 92,000 New Yorkers were living with HIV or AIDS -- more than any other city in the country.
