			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><h3>AIDS Walk Washington is October 6, 2007</h3>
<p><u>1</u> out of <strong><u>20</u></strong> District residents is infected with HIV. That&#8217;s <strong><u>5%</u></strong> of the population<br />
<u>1</u> out of <strong><u>50</u></strong> District residents is already living with AIDS<br />
If DC were a country it would rank in between The Republic of Congo and Rwanda in terms of HIV infection rates!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aidswalkwashington.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=229120" target="_blank">Put Your Foot Down &#8211; Register Today!</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aidswalkwashington.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=229120" target="_blank"></a>Show your support for Whitman-Walker Clinic at the 21st annual AIDS Walk Washington on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Freedom Plaza.  The goal is 25,000 walkers, one for each person living with HIV in the District of Columbia. You can register as an individual walker or build a team of 10 or more people.</p>
<p>For more information on AIDS Walk, call 202-332-WALK or visit <a href="http://www.aidswalkwashington.org/"><strong>the AIDS Walk website </strong></a>. <strong>Check out the TV PSAs</strong> produced by <strong><a href="http://www.nbc4.com/">NBC4</a></strong>!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wwc.org/AIDS%20WALK%2030.wmv">PSA 1</a><br />
<a href="http://www.wwc.org/FENTY%2030.wmv">PSA 2</a></strong></p>
<p>The Grand Marshall this year is <strong>Chip Arndt</strong>.  You may remember Chip Arndt from his stint on the TV show <em>The Amazing Race</em>.  Chip and then-partner <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=http://www.fighthivindc.org//user.viewprofile&amp;friendid=47147734">Reichen Lehmkuehl</a> won not only the big prize, but also plenty of attention for being the first same-sex couple to do so.  Even before the show, Chip Arndt was known for his support of LGBT and HIV/AIDS causes. Since the show, however, he has been able to do even more.</p>
<p><strong>Come out on this Saturday and show your support!!! </strong></p>
