We’re thankful to The Washington Blade for doing a story on our 40th Walk & 5K to End HIV.
Excerpts:
Whitman-Walker Health, D.C.’s LGBTQ supportive healthcare center and medical clinic, is calling on D.C. residents and supporters to take part in its 40th annual Walk & 5K Run to End HIV scheduled to take place Saturday, Sept. 19.
The event, in which participants choose to walk or run, begins at 8:45 a.m. at the Roller Skating Pavilion at Anacostia Park located at 1500 Anacostia Drive, S.E.
The route, similar to recent years, will take participants from the Skating Pavilion site going west along Anacostia Drive to the Poplar Point parking lot, where there will be a turn around to return along Anacostia Drive to the finish line at the Roller Skating Pavilion, according to Whitman-Walker spokesperson Lisa Amore.
“Held for the past 40 years, the Walk & 5K to End HIV is Whitman-Walker Health’s signature fundraiser that calls on thousands of Washington, D.C. area residents to lace up their shoes and walk or run to support WWH’s mission of providing dependable, high-quality, comprehensive and accessible health care to those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS,” a statement released by Whitman-Walker says.
