World AIDS Day: "Getting to Zero"
Thursday, December 1, 2011
December 1st is World AIDS Day and it is the 30th anniversay of AIDS. This year's theme is "Getting to Zero." That's zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. For those living with the disease, that's their mission, all year round.

The F Word...
Thursday, October 6, 2011
I just recently took part in a 24 hour hunger strike with a cause I helped co-found, called Project MAD with a colleague of mine. Our mission is to make people aware of what is going on in the Horn of Africa and other parts of the world. We raised half of our goal, but we are still going and finding other ways to help them. What's going on in the Horn of Africa right now is not something we should take lightly and think it will go away, because it won't and we need to all step up and help get the word out and raise money for those children who don't make it to their 2nd birthday. The famine in Somalia has killed 30,000 children in 3 months. Yes, Thirty Thousand in Three Months.
