Peter Fox (1966-2012)

Put Your Foot Down Against HIV/AIDS!
AIDS Walk Washington is a 5K fundraising walk and timed run benefiting and produced by Whitman-Walker, a nonprofit community-based health organization which provides dependable, high-quality, comprehensive and accessible health care to those infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS.
In a city where three percent of adults are known to have HIV and an additional three percent are infected but don't know it, AIDS Walk plays a vital role in raising funds to fight the epidemic.
By registering and raising funds, you are helping to keep your neighbors healthy and alive. You're also helping to prevent new infections.
