 6,000 Steps for 6,000 Orphans ...
 
 
6,000 children are orphaned by AIDS every day

HIV/AIDS is devastating communities around the world—and children are suffering the most. But now you can do something to help, and it’s as simple as taking a walk.

The average person can walk 6,000 steps in about one hour. But the assistance provided by your participation in World Vision’s 6,000 Steps: AIDS Walk for Orphans can bring about a lifetime of change for a child in need. Please join with participants in your community and all around the country to make a difference on World AIDS Day, November 22nd.

Through your personal fundraising Web page, you can invite family, friends, and colleagues to support you with a tax-deductible donation as you walk 6,000 steps on behalf of the 6,000 children orphaned each day.

Event Details

The walk will be open from 3-5pm. Please come and find the orange truck in
the parking lot at Dicks Sporting Goods to check in and receive your shirt.
Then you are free to wander the mall for your 6,000 steps.
