A crowd of people assembled on a Saturday morning in Fredericksburg, Virginia in support of AIDS awareness. The event was the Fredericksburg, VA 5K AIDS Awareness Walk & Run. It was held at the Cannon Ridge Golf Course on Saturday, June 26, 2010.
It was a fun event. The event appeared to go very smooth and looked easy. However, that only happens when a significant amount of planning and preparation take place. There was a large number of volunteers available to direct traffic, register runners and walkers, as well as a number of additional duties required to carry out a successful athletic charity event.
Runners and walkers paid a registration fee to sign up for the event. T-shirts were sold online in advance of the event. Proceeds raised from the charity walk/run event support Home Of Miracles and Embraces (HOME). The funds will be used to assist children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and other prevention and Intervention initiatives regarding the myths and truths of HIV/AIDS throughout our communities.
Above are some of the photos I captured at the event.

Thanks,
