December 1, 2008 is World AIDS Day.  Current statistics on HIV/AIDS can be found at the UNAIDS website.

Like so many of you, I know what it’s like to lose a loved one to this pandemic.  Well, it is more correct to say I know what it’s like to lose too many loved ones to the AIDS pandemic.  I think of my brother Darrell and my best friend Alvin often and wished they had lived long enough to benefit from what advances have been made to date.

This year’s theme is Leadership. It is being used to ask leaders to get involved with helping, as the campaign slogan states, “Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.”  I encourage each of you to do just that, get involved.  A good resource is the World AIDS Campaign: http://www.worldaidscampaign.org/en

Answer the call; take the lead…
