>> This semester, I will pledge to stay on my feet as a participant in
>> “Dance Marathon” -- and as a supporter of the Elizabeth Glaser
>> Pediatric AIDS Foundation. As part of the Foundation’s Caring for
>> Kids program, Dance Marathon participants dance in an effort to
>> represent the mental and physical challenges faced by children

>> I take on this personal challenge. Help us surpass our

>> There are an estimated 40,000 new HIV infections in the United
>> States each year, the majority of them in people under the age of
>> 25. Globally, approximately 39.5 million people are infected with
>> HIV and 2.3 million of those are children. The Elizabeth Glaser
>> Pediatric AIDS Foundation seeks to prevent pediatric HIV
>> infection and to eradicate pediatric AIDS through research,
>> advocacy, and prevention and treatment programs. Its innovative
>> research programs, collaborative training initiatives, advocacy
>> efforts, and rapidly expanding international programs are
>> bringing dramatic changes to the lives of children worldwide.

>>
>> While great strides are being made, there are still many questions
>> that remain unanswered and much work is yet to be done. This is
>> why your help is indispensable. By supporting me, you are also
>> helping support these organizations' vital pediatric programs
>> throughout the world. Together, we can make a difference and end
>> this pandemic.

>>
>> Again, many thanks for your support… because every child deserves a
