My World #79: 2010 SF AIDS Walk

Here are a few pictures I took while participating in my first AIDS Walk, this year is #24.  It’s a 6.2 miles/10 km walk around Golden Gate Park.  25,000 walkers raised $3 million dollars.  A good day to spend half a day walking and helping find a cure.

The day started gloomy, but the sun managed to peek from the fog by 1 pm – as we were nearing finish line.  By the time we were leaving the park at past 2 pm, the wind has picked up and no sooner we expected the fog to roll back in.  Yes, it was a short window of sun and at least we enjoyed it.

One of those they call AIDS memorial quilts.

Each group/company has a tent where they give out t-shirts for their walkers and where they also serve both breakfast and lunch.

Plenty of free refreshments and snacks scattered around the park.

Friendly volunteers are everywhere, giving out food and drinks and encouraging you to ask them questions.

Every SF event is full of character.

We enjoyed scouting out the best t-shirt designs.  The Google shirt is one of our favorites.  Peet’s Coffee and Pixar round out our top three.
This is the design of our t-shirt – not bad eh, but I hope they put more thought into it.  I’m sure with the funky tee designs this year, they would get creative next year.

A very good advice.  I can’t remember which company has this t-shirt design on the back.

You know what they say, Walk until there’s a cure.
