World AIDS Day

Tim sent me this two days ago and I haven't been able to post it because of the modem/net problems.

It's a very small thing to do and costs nothing but a little time.

As World AIDS Day approaches (Dec. 1), we are reminded that millions of people need our help with the AIDS pandemic, but we often think, "What can I do?"

Here is one simple way you can help, and it costs you nothing but a moment and a mouse click...

Bristol Myers Squibb will donate $1 for every person who goes to their web site and lights a candle to fight AIDS, up to a max of $100,000 (chump change for them, but I'll take it). At this point, the counter is just over 31,000... so we need many more candles lit.



Please light a candle... and help spread the light.

Over 211,000
Perhaps they will up the ante.

Thanks Ann

A very worthwhile cause Ann, hope Carol is doing better.

I just lit mine. It's a great idea, and I'll link to RRG with a quick explanation when I post later so that others can do it to.

...I mean, ok, I get about 1 or 2 comments per day in contrast to your 50, but still, just in case, right?

In case I don't get to talk to you, have a great weekend.

:-)

ann, can I be a pessimist? $100,000 only treats about 125 Africans out of the 28 M who have the disease. So this donation from a company that makes $4.5 billion a year, and who produces AIDS drugs, is pretty disappointing. Can you tell I am feeling ornery today? LOL.

I agree Vanessa hopefully 400,000 plus signatures will mean something
