The 10th Day of the 12 Days of Christmas is a shout out for my former boss, Dave. He used to participate in the San Francisco AIDS walk every year and would send out an email to raise funds for the event. I'm just spreading the word a bit more and listing a few AIDS related charities that are solid organizations.
Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation - http://www.pedaids.org/ - I always remember this group because the namesake of this organization, Elizabeth Glaser, was the spouse of Paul Glaser, Detective Starsky of Starsky & Hutch. It's a pretty amazing organization that was instrumental in getting research about HIV/AIDS started for children.
Aids Walk - http://www.aidswalk.net/ - If you're the ambitious type, sign up for one of the walks. I did it a few years in San Francisco and got painfully claustrophobic in the crowd. (Personally, I'd rather run than be in a slow 6 mile stroll). But, I still welcome the emails from my friends' fund raising emails for these events!
Aids Lifecycle - http://www.aidslifecycle.org/ - I have a secret wish to do this ride. It is 545 mile bike ride from San Francisco to LA to raise money for AIDS treatment and education.
