TOGETHER, WE STEP FORWARD. In many ways, the Desert AIDS Walk has always been virtual. When we took our first steps thirty-four years ago, we didn't know where we were going but we knew the only way forward was together. -David Brinkman, CEO Desert AIDS Project
You have always made the difference ...
The reason for "The Walk" has never really been about balloon arches or walker t-shirts. It has always been about the collective power of community and our shared vision of a future where everyone has the patient-centered, comprehensive care they need to live their best lives. Thirty-four years of walking has ensured those living with HIV and AIDS continue to thrive.
We are applying the critical lessons from our past to current challenges, creating a roadmap to quickly open a COVID-19 Triage clinic that has provided testing and respiratory treatment to more than 3,000 residents since the pandemic began.
We are survivors; fear cannot rule us. When crisis sets in, we step forward with hope.
Register. Walk. Step forward!
