AIDS WALK ----------- Several hundred people gathered in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco for AIDS Walk remembered AIDS experts died in Malaysia Airlines flight shot down over Ukraine. AIDS Walk benefits groups providing support for people living with HIV/AIDS and advocacy groups trying to end the epidemic. Organizers of the citys annual event dedicated this years fundraiser to the activists and researchers killed in a crashed Malaysian airliner. A number of those on board were traveling to an international AIDS conference in Melbourne. DANA VAN GORDER, PROJECT IMPAC What a bitter irony that people working to do such good would be lost to such a gratuitous act of hate and violence. We dedicate our efforts today to them. To their enormous contributions to ending this epidemic. And to vision of social justice they sought to advance. We walk in the spirit that they leave behind, of eagerness to create a world in which all people are able to achieve healthy, fulfilled lives, said Dana Van Girder of Project Impact addressing the crowd.
