I must say I had an AMAZING time at the NYC 2012 AIDS walk this passed Sunday May 20th. Although my family and I couldn't walk past mile three it was later discovered that we may as well have stayed in the walk given we had to walk back to the car which was located on 68th street! We were on 110th street! OUCH! LOL... but over all it was still a good walk and I am extremely proud of my team (The Heart Of Milton Myles).
We couldn't get our t shirts together, but I did manage to hand out some free books based on my personal knowledge of the AIDS disease and the misconception on how it is distributed from person to person. I tried giving a few free books to some of our youth who were present at the walk and they refused. *gasp* smdh at the young community. One even rolled her eyes at me. I wanted to say honey, I spoke at a school for young people based on this damn book! LEARN SOMETHING! These po chilren out here are the ones in need of it most. Statistics show these little fast asses, (excuse my french) always jumping the gun and sleeping around with each other WITHOUT condoms! Pick up the book and read the damn thing! BE SAFE!
Sorry... it just breaks my heart to see these young adults with no respect for themselves or the people around them; act like a damn fool! It's like be safer and smarter, live longer!
Needless to say, I will be attending the walk (God willing) in honor of my stepfather next year. However, a team will not be in place. I will walk individually with a few others who are willing to join me. I want to send a special THANK YOU to all who have joined and donated!
Special thanks to: (from left to right) Nicole Myles, Emma Myles, Nicole, Jayden, Melissa Nunez, Justin Reed, Nate Irizarry, Chevel Nelson, Jeremiah Nelson and Krys Winterbourne. (Tanya Vasquez, who was at the walk for our team, but waayyyy ahead of us! lol - Thank you for joining my love!)
