Twenty-five years ago, I attended my first AIDS Walk for Nashville CARES. I could not have known then just how much this organization, this work, and the people we serve would become a part of my life.

Twenty-five years later, the work we do continues to be a passion for me. We have seen incredible advances in HIV prevention and treatment, but our work is far from finished. Every day, Nashville CARES is helping people living with HIV access the care and support they need while working to prevent new HIV infections and ensure everyone has access to testing, prevention, treatment, and care.

This year, as I mark 25 years with Nashville CARES, I hope you'll consider making a $25 gift in honor of those 25 years. Whether it's $25, more, or whatever amount is meaningful to you, your support helps us continue this work.

I'm incredibly grateful for the friends and family who have supported me and Nashville CARES throughout the years. Thank you for walking alongside me, and for helping us continue the work that still needs to be done.
