This was my second year volunteering for Madison's only AIDS Walk, Walk Roll and Stroll. Thank you to Randol White from NBC-15's Morning Show, who again was our Honorary Ambassador. Earlier in September, I went to Edgewood High School and did a discussion entitled, "The Politics of AIDS" to encourage participation from Edgewood students. To our delight, there were 17 members from Team Edgewood who walked! Team Edgewood won free ice cream from the Chocolate Shoppe in Madison for their efforts! I personally can't thank all of you enough for your support and compassion! It was quite fun to work a rest stop with Lora and Teresa again. Per usual, we had a wonderful time. It was awesome to see the Mad Rollin Dolls again too. They are very committed to supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS and helping AIDS Network in Madison, Wisconsin. Please make sure you visit their site (below). Rafiki was a hit as many of the walkers and others wandering by, stopped to say hello. Thank you to all who walked, volunteered and organized this year's Walk Roll and Stroll. Thank you for your support of AIDS Network and the clients they serve!

Bob,
 
Thank you so much for coming and speaking with us. It is truly refreshing to see someone so passionate about educating the general public about this terrible virus. You spoke from the heart which made your message all the more effective and true. Listening to you speak both now and in the past have inspired me to get involved because like you said, everyone's voice counts!! So, I have spoken with some friends and we are going to be doing the Walk, Roll, and Stroll this year as part of Team Edgewood. I look forward to hearing you speak in the future! Thanks again!
 
 
Peace,
 
Greg S.
Edgewood High School
 

A heartfelt thanks to HIVictorious' newest addition, Kate Johnston for lending your skills and support!

Youth HIV/AIDS educator, AIDS activist  & long-term survivor Bob Bowers, One Tough Pirate, also known simply as "Da Pirate." Bob has been living with and surviving HIV/AIDS for 26 years. Bob started as an HIV positive speaker 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 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 its AIDS awareness poster contest, "What if it Were You?" Mr. Bowers is a leading and well respected AIDS advocate and leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. As a long-term survivor of HIV/AIDS, and someone who has lost dozens 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.
