17 Spots Left on My “Coolest-Hottest Friends” List!
I turned 40 this week and as part of the ongoing celebration, I am raising $500 for Positive Wellness Alliance through my online network.

Katya Andresen
Sherri Wood
Bob Muller

Rebecca Ruby

Johanna Goldberg
Linda Saffell
Lee Carty
Erik Molvar
Robert Sanford

You are all AMAZING. Thank you!
But here’s the thing. I am still $85 short of my $500 goal. That’s just 17 $5 donations – or just about 1% of the subscribers to this blog. Make a $5 donation right now and you will not only be placed on my “Coolest-Hottest Friends” list, but even better, I will send you the links to the recording of today’s webinar “Forget the General Public! How to Define and Research Your Target Audience” — even if you didn’t register for it.
Why This Cause?
I serve on the PWA board and believe deeply in the cause, which is stopping the spread of HIV in our rural (and very conservative) part of North Carolina and providing assistance to those already infected with and affected by the disease. The stigma associated with HIV is difficult enough as it is, but it’s even more challenging in the South. In fact, HIV infections are on the rise in these parts, even as they decline elsewhere in the U.S. PWA is doing great work in helping young people and others at risk learn how to protect themselves in a culture that doesn’t want to talk about or even acknowledge the existence of the disease and how it is spread. By contributing to this cause, you are truly a very cool and a very hot friend of mine.
Thanks!

Happy Birthday! Not sure you get the Pay Pal comments, and I wanted to thank you for the chance to help, and for all the good work you do. I know a bit about how tough HIV/AIDS work can be from my husband’s work with HIV+ folks on probation or parole. And, FYI, I hit 50 not so long ago and life just gets more interesting every day. Enjoy!
