If you missed the  World AIDS Day RED RUN in London last week (which, for reasons unknown to us, the Brits insisted on holding a week EARLY) do not despair, as on December 1st (the correct date) you can WALK 10KM for THE TERRENCE HIGGINS TRUST.  They are challenging everyone to walk 10km on Monday 1 December or a day of your choice. If you’d like to increase the distance and set a higher target, that’s completely up to you!  There is no participation fee BUT they would like you to raise at least £100. (easey peasy eh? ) REGISTER now and you’ll even get a free t-shirt

More than two-thirds of the World’s  HIV-positive population lives there, and a collection will be held for a final third year to support the Egmont Trust in its remarkable work in Africa
