The Indiana AIDS Fund began in 1994 and has become the largest private funder of HIV and AIDS programs in the state of Indiana. It is a fund-raising and grant-making organization dedicated to supporting programs and services that help educate and assist Hoosiers with HIV/AIDS. To date it has provided more than $4 million in grants to more than 60 organizations across Indiana.
About me: The Indiana AIDS Fund has two major fundraising events every year: Spotlight in April, and the AIDS Walk & Ride in October.
The Annual Indiana AIDS Walk & Ride is on SATURDAY, Oct. 11, 2008. Check this MySpace page and the official site, www.indianaaidsfund.org for more details leading up to the event.
Why do you Walk?
The AIDS Walk & Ride is an annual event that supports programs and services serving the more than 10,000 Hoosiers with HIV/AIDS. The pandemic is far from over – infection rates are increasing among women, youth and minorities. Indiana remains above the national average of young people under 25 who are living with AIDS.
Individual participants and teams solicit pledges from family, friends, co-workers, employers and others to benefit the Greg Powers/Direct Emergency Financial Assistance Fund (DEFA). DEFA provides funds for those with HIV/AIDS who need assistance with emergency shelter, utilities, food, medicine, and other daily living needs.
PLEASE MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO: Indiana AIDS Fund
Info on 2009 Spotlight will be posted in early 2009.

Comprehensive plan will fight HIV/AIDS epidemic at home and abroad
"The loss from HIV/AIDS is almost beyond understanding," said Edwards. "This is a fight for people's lives. HIV is a preventable disease – but an estimated 40,000 new HIV cases were reported in the U.S. last year, and 4.3 million were reported around the world. What's more, HIV/AIDS is a treatable disease – yet 17,000 Americans and 3 million people globally died from it in 2005. We have a moral imperative to do much more and do it much better."
Edwards' proposals to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic build on his plan to provide universal health care for all Americans. Edwards was the first presidential candidate to propose a plan for quality, affordable health care for every man, woman and child in America. He has also promised to take on the big insurance and drug companies, pledging to submit legislation on the first day of his administration that ends health care coverage for the president, all members of Congress, and all senior political appointees in both the executive and legislative branches of government on July 20th, 2009 unless universal health care legislation that meets four specific, non- of negotiable principles has been passed by that date.

I'm writing today to ask that you help me, by writing your Representatives and Senators and asking that they support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
If this bill does not pass, the consequences will be staggering. It will remain perfectly legal in most states to fire people because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. This important civil rights bill is needed to protect all LGBT workers across the country.
I don't send messages like this often and I'm sending this one to you because it is so important, and could affect so many peoples' lives for the better.
Please take a moment and speak out for justice.

If each of our MySpace Friends would donate $5 on our Team MySpace page: AIDS Walk Team MySpace Page we could, raise over $3,300 for our neighbors living with HIV/AIDS!
Let's show 'em what our caring MySpace Friends can do!
Hi, Thanks for the add, I am a French politician who lives with HIV/AIDS. I was the first French politician – and also the only one so far – to acknowledge publicly my seropositivity, which was discovered in 1987. In France, I am the chairman of a society with 13.000 French politicians of all parties (ELCS, soon on myspace). I support UNITAID. One of our fight is to obtain that USA change their acts/laws which forbid people living with HIV/AIDS to enter in your country. I know all you do against AIDS and we need you for this important fight against discriminations. I have just created my "myspace" to promote this international fight and I need you to mobilise in USA! Best wishes. Jean-Luc Romero
