Thank you to the hundreds of walkers, sponsors and corporate sponsors that helped us raise over $85,000 in 2007!

On Saturday, September 20th, 2008, Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life Ottawa will host the seventeenth annual Walk in support of the nine local organizations that provide HIV/AIDS related services in the community.

Whether you are walking, volunteering, or making a donation, you can make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS right here in our city.

HIV/AIDS is just as much of a threat as ever: one person every two hours is infected with HIV in Canada. Here in Ottawa approximately 3000 people are living with HIV/AIDS and almost one third of them do not know they are HIV positive. Despite advances in drug therapies, AIDS remains a deadly disease. Prevention remains the only cure.

This is a reality that the Walk partner agencies address every single day.

This is the reason that we continue to Walk for Life.
