20 May 2003
where was luke skywalker?
I survived though I didn't walk on Sunday. Volunteering is tiresome. Fabienne and I had to be there at the crack of dawn and then we stood for most of the day cheering and encouraging the walkers (we hope). Our AWNY Blogging Team wasn't a success as we had hoped but I am optimistic for a better turn out for next year. So far Fabienne and I raised $275.00. Which is not so bad because we wanted to raise $500. Online donations are still being excepted until June. Aids Walk NY 2003 had a good turn out of 40,000 people and raised $4,843,729 (offline donations, i.e. checks, will be counted at GHMC this week). The top fundraisers were Kenneth Cole. Now for the images...
The crowds

Most people enjoyed refreshments after a long walk

Darth Vader made a cameo
