The Capitis Group of Luxury Home Services walked as a team in the Palm Springs Aids Walk 2009.   All of the team worked hard to support their local community in a time when it’s needed the most.

Well a great time was had by all as it seemed for a serious cause in the continuous fight against HIV and AIDS.  We all have lost so many wonderful friends and family members over the years.  It is staggering for me in particular as to the devastation this virus has caused in my life, and continues to for so many others.  This virus was a definite life changer for me personally from a early age of 18 years old, seeing my best of friends quickly get sick and pass away from something so unknown at the time.  I stopped counting, but will never stop remembering those wonderful people that had helped to mold me into who I am today.

During the short 2 mile walk my mind remembered back onto many of my friends current and past that had the “luck of the draw” in getting this virus.  However we all walked with smiles on our faces and soldiered on thankful that we are helping to get the word out there, and help raise more money and awareness that is needed to continue to find a cure.

The crowds were larger than I was expecting, which was nice to see based on the condition of our current economy.  From the Soccer Moms to the Drag Queens we all had come together today with one voice.   A big thank you to all of our team at the Capitis Group, and to all who had donated as well as the many others who turned out to walk and support the effort.
