Sonia Montez pledging for AIDS Walk 2008
https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=262058&supid=212392461
Friends,I am writing to let you know that I have registered for AIDS Walk New York and am very excited about the event. This is a very important issue to me so I have set an ambitious fundraising goal. I want to do as much as I can to make a difference in the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS. Even though there has been a lot of publicity about drug treatments which are prolonging some people’s lives, they don’t work for everyone and there is still no cure in sight. Moreover, young people are still getting infected at alarmingly high rates.
GMHC and about 40 other AIDS organizations in the area get the money from the AIDS Walk. It’s clear that we need more services and more prevention programs than ever before.I want your help. Will you please sponsor me for the AIDS Walk? Just click on the website address below to enter my personalized web page and charge your donation. Thank you, in advance, for supporting this important cause and for showing that you join me in wanting to end this epidemic.

MY NAME IS ALBERT AYLER
by Kasper Collin
The prophetic free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, who today is seen as one of the most important innovators in jazz, was ferociously committed to his radical music and convinced that one day people would understand it; as he said in his own words, “If people don’t like it now, they will.”
