U.S. News Pittsburgh Holds Final AIDS WalkJune 7, 2004 A note from TheBody.com: Since this article was written, the HIV pandemic has changed, as has our understanding of HIV/AIDS and its treatment. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information! Around 800 people participated in Pittsburgh's 10th -- and final -- annual AIDS walk on Sunday. Organizers said the event's demise was due to declining participation. This year's walk came up about $30,000 short of its $100,000 fundraising goal. Mary Hawk, a program development specialist with the AIDS Task Force, said the walk had done a lot to raise money and spirits in Pittsburgh. "I remember walking up the hill and coming around the corner to see a thousand people in front of me. It was incredible to know that we were together. It was important for [those with AIDS] to see it," recalled Hawk. Many in Sunday's walk wore signs in memory of those who have died from HIV/AIDS.
