Help in Sponsoring a Billboard for Who's Positive
-------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

I thought I would cross-post this mail for you to see and work
on it. It is about a Young American Who is Positive for HIV and
has gone public and is leading a campaign that is changing peo-
ple's lives. Please help this noble course.

PLEASE HELP IN SPONSORING A BILLBOARD FOR WHO’S POSITIVE

The URL http://www.whospositive.com/sponsors.htm is where you
can see what will be placed in the area. We need a few hundred
bucks to complete this task. What a way to bring awareness to
HIV in our communities! PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING. Credit cards
through pay pal are accepted right now and personal checks may
be mailed to the address located at
http://www.whospositive.com/contactus.htm

Feel free to pass the website off to others who may be inter-
ested in a keynote speaker or workshop speaker.

Who’s Positive is currently seeking individuals and businesses
who want to support a program that is making a difference in
peoples lives! Just recently three programs were done for Penn
State Students. Here is some feed back ­

1) Your program was amazing. I can't stop thinking about it;
your story is still going through my mind. Even though I don't
know you, I can see that your courage and strength will help you
to face your illness head-on for a very long time. I hope that
you never tire of spreading your message to the world, because
there are still many ears out there who desperately need to hear
it. Thank you a million times for sharing your life with us.

2) Tom's presentation was phenomenal. I have never been so riv-
eted by a person's personal story in all of my life. Even though
I have been tested for HIV in the past, and tested negative, I
still feel overwhelmingly compelled to get my follow-up test,
and I want to tell everyone I know that they should be tested
and that they should take precautions in their own lives. HIV is
a serious disease, but its spread CAN be stopped. Even if the
message is spread by just one person at a time, with programs
like Tom's, the word can and must get out that we can beat this
problem.

Again thank you! "Remember that someday the AIDS crisis will be
over. And when that day has come and gone there will be people
who will be alive who will hear that once there was a terrible
disease, and that a brave group of people stood up and fought
and in some cases died so that others might live and be free." -
