July 21, 2003 This article is part of TheBody.com's archive. Because it contains information that may no longer be accurate, this article should only be considered a historical document. About 20,000 volunteers marched through Golden Gate Park
Sunday for San Francisco AIDS Foundation's AIDS Walk, raising
$3.1 million for SFAF and 34 AIDS-related service organizations
in the Bay Area. "Considering the poor state of the local
economy, we're really pleased with the overall success of this
event," said Redge Horton, spokesperson for SFAF. "It's important
to support research to find a cure for AIDS," said Jeff Beckman,
40, who walked with his 7-year-old daughter and her friend. "I
also think it's important to teach my daughter and her friend the
importance of giving back to the community." Since 1987, about
310,000 people have marched in 17 AIDS Walks and raised $46
million.
