TDLH This year’s focus will be on “continuing the journey" that is aids treatment, service, preven- tion, and advocacy — AIDS is not over yet, we need to contin- ue to be vigilant. Without shifting to a lobbyist stance, our event this year will also offer some cri- tique of government policies that will continue to dramatically change how we provide service Vermont CARES needs dona- tions and sponsorships to make this event happen; every dollar counts and this year is more crucial. than ever — the federal government is shifting dollars away from HIV services which will primarily affect those who most need help (most in poverty, most in need of medical servic- es, most in need of supportive services like mental health, sub- stance abuse counseling, hous- ing, etc.). Last year AIDS Walk raised $13,000 for Vermont CARES‘ programming for people living with HIV and AIDS — our '“ goal this year is $15,000 The impact that one individual can make is immeasurable; we hope you will join us for a great walk that truly makes a,differ- ence in the lives of Vermonters living with and at risk of HIV/AIDS.
