The statistics concerning AIDS in Houston are staggering. One Houstonian is infected with HIV every 8 hours. Since 1981, of those Houstonians infected with AIDS, 57% have died. AIDS Walk Houston aims to raise $1 million to contribute to AIDS Foundation Houston, Inc and Houston-area HIV/AIDS service organizations. The funds that participants raise support education and pediatric programs, provide housing, food, medical care, counseling, and job training to more than 100,000 Houstonians each year.
