I have known Jenny Heifetz a.k.a. Jenners for 10 years now. Jenners and I met at my first PEP/LA (Peer Education Jenny Heifetz and Bob Bowers in Los Angeles, CaliforniaProgram of Los Angeles) meeting. Jenny was one of the most dedicated educators I have met. We had fun speaking at numerous events together. We enjoyed many fun times together as well. One of  those 'fun times' came shortly after my battle back from heart disease and her and Erin convinced me to ride "Riddler" the rollercoaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain together. What a great leap of faith and friendship that proved to be. Jenny really helped show me how to LIVE again. Whenever I was sick or down, she was one of if not the first to offer anything she could to help. In 2001 Jenny went on to Smith College, making the promise to stay committed and to stay in touch with me. She has done just that. No matter where our life journeys have taken us from Wisconsin to Europe, we have remained in contact. The love and hope that Jenners shone upon me, in my toughest of times, remains a constant source of light and strength in my life. I fortunately was able to see her,  'live and in person,' on 3 occasions in recent years. She is as beautiful, vibrant and full of hope and energy as ever before. Thank you Ms. Heifetz for your unconditional love and support I am forever grateful to you. 

Shalom, my Angel!

Bob started as a youth HIV/AIDS educator  with peer education programs in Los Angeles shortly after his diagnosis. To broaden his personal message of prevention through education, hope and awareness of the disease, Bob founded the nonprofit HIV/AIDS educational organization, HIVictorious, Inc. in 2005. HIVictorious addresses youth HIV/AIDS education and prevention and provides AIDS awareness in Madison, Wisconsin and throughout the United States through Bob's public speaking and it's AIDS awareness poster contest, "What if it Were You?" Mr. Bowers long-term survivor of HIV/AIDS, and someone who has lost dozen of friends to AIDS, Bob is wholeheartedly committed to educating today's youth and young adults, about the realities of HIV/AIDS as well as living with AIDS long-term. Mr. Bowers is a champion for hope and survival despite some of the difficult circumstances that we ALL face in life.
