In the Big Bend area, 1 out of every 172
adults is known to be living with HIV/AIDS.
And according to the Centers for
Disease Control & Prevention, more than 1.1 million people in the US are
living with HIV – with 1 in 7 not even aware that they have the disease!
That is also why clients, staff and advocates
of Big Bend Cares, Neighborhood Medical Center and Bond Community Health Center
are walking together at Railroad Square this Thursday, March 5th at
6:30pm. We walk for the people from the
Big Bend; for the 119,000 people in Florida; and for the 1.1 million in the US.
We walk to remember those who no longer can. We walk to remind you that you’re
not alone. We walk for a nation. We walk to educate. We walk for change.
