COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: World AIDS Day - Dec. 1
|
|---|
World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for you to learn the facts about HIV and put your knowledge into action. If you understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and the reality of living with HIV today - you can use this knowledge to take care of your own health and the health of others, and ensure you treat everyone living with HIV fairly, and with respect and understanding. Click here to find out the facts. You can also show your support for people living with HIV on World AIDS Day by wearing a red ribbon, the international symbol of HIV awareness.

Run or Walk with Frontrunners - Sundays |
|---|
 Frontrunners is a running and walking club for the GLBT community and their friends of all ages and abilities. The free run/walk in Boulder meets on Sunday mornings at 9:15am (and leaves promptly at 9:17am, a Frontrunners tradition) at the Whole Foods on Baseline and Broadway. From there, we usually split into 2-3 groups and venture off for either a beautiful trail run up into the Foothills or a flat run that includes part of the Boulder Creek Trail. Afterwards we have breakfast at Whole Foods. There is also a Denver run that meets on Saturday mornings. For more info, visit their site at http://www.denverfrontrunners.org/site/ or join their facebook group page. |
