We’ve all gotten the bogus email forwards from “Bill Gates is giving his fortune away if you forward this,” to Applebee’s gift certificates to the ever sappy “forward this to save a dying child.”
99.9% of the time this stuff is futile spam.
But this morning, Montana Miller, one of my favorite professors sent me an actual email about a legitimate website campaign to raise money to fight HIV/AIDS. Check it out and light a candle. I did.

Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical monolith that charges nearly $1,000 for a 30 day supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications, is donating $1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who simply visits their website and "virtually lights a candle." The tally is near 1, 020,000 now. Please, please take a minute to "light a candle":
Thanks Abby! What a great site for a great cause. Hope everyone does it!
ReplyDeleteHey, Abby! Just an FYI, there is a doctor in California who is curing AIDS without drugs. Her name is Dr. Lorraine Day and she is amazing! You know me, I would have a "Just say NO to the drug companies" platform if were a contestant. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you soon!
Love and hugs,
