Come join PTK and thousands of other participants for the 31st annual AIDS Walk on October 11th! Each year this event raises millions of dollars. It has become California’s largest AIDS fundraising event. So we want as many PTK members as possible to come and be a part of it!
The walk is going to start and finish at West Hollywood Park. The estimated finish time of the walk is around 2.5 hours and you will have walked 6.2 miles at completion! So do BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES to walk in. Don’t worry guys, you’ll be able to make it. No man will be left behind!
