Thank you Sacramento Valley A.I.D.S. Run/Walk Participants

We wish to thank all those who participated in this years Sacramento Valley A.I.D.S Run/Walk. For myself it was a sacrifice but a small one to pay to participate in something as rewarding and satisfying as this event. Living with full blown A.I.D.S. for 23 years I have my good days and bad but this day I felt well enough to be there. No Excuses!

First of all there was a very good turn out. Families, children, and young adults were everywhere and all in a very positive mood for a chilly early Sunday morning. Excitement filled the air before, during, and after the race and walk. Booths provided anything from health information to foods and beverages for all those who participated. Sacramento Holistic Healing Center had our own booth selling t-shirts to benefit the Sacramento AIDS Fund and outreach education about medical marijuana and our dispensary. All in all, we raised over $10,000 this year. Thank you to everyone that donated their time or money. “With a little bit of love and a lot of compassion lives change”.

Even though I was in my wheelchair I felt good inside to be a part of a beautiful and moving event. I was even more moved by all the big, kind hearts of the fun loving folks from our staff that came and supported this event and cause.

Next year we hope to see more patients come and join Team S.H.H.C. to support our brothers and sisters with A.I.D.S.. For all those who participated representing Team S.H.H.C., thank you very much for showing your support, sharing your time, and by giving to help others in need. All your smiling hearts were appreciated. TEAM S.H.H.C. rocked the event! See you in 2010!
