AIDS Walk NY 2014

Hello everyone,

Spring is finally here, and I couldn't be more happier for the mild warmth NY is receiving. May has come which means is time for the AIDS Walk in NYC. Honestly, I am going through a lot at work and my personal life that I thought about possibly not doing the walk this year. But I decided that I needed to persevere, put aside my problems, and act for a great cause: to join a movement to create an AIDS free generation. Although I am sending out this email very late (the walk is on May 18th), I want to reach out to as many people as I can to make a difference in the life of others. Also, it is better late than never ;)

So, how can you assist? You can by making a donation to my fundraising page: Jorgie Llanos
(http://awny2014.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1089371&lis=1&kntae1089371=0C2DAD13B55F44DBA2EB7013D4F463D7&supId=211356124)

Any amount helps. Help me make a difference in the life of others, so one day we may look at AIDS as a thing of the past. In the meantime, the money raised will help with education programs and services for the people who need it.
Every bit helps, so I hope you can support me in any way you can. Thank you in advance, and wish me good weather for the day of the walk on May 18th :)

AIDS Walk 2013-in just 3 weeks

Hello friends,

I hope this email finds you well and you are enjoying the nice weather we've been having lately. I wanted to let you know that the AIDS Walk 2013 is only 3 weeks away. In 3 weeks I will be walking along with thousands of people to reach one goal: To find a cure for HIV/AIDS by raising funds and awareness in the community. By raising funds we'll be providing researches and doctors the necessary means to study and produce new therapies, and eventually cures to these diseases. And by walking you'll be making a statement that this is not an issue that only affects the gay community, this is an issue that affects the whole community, and that by coming together we can achieve anything.
Last year my team, Ab Fab for a Cure, raised over $900. Help us and my teammates reach our goal by becoming a donor towards the mission. Or if you have time, come join us on May 19th at Central Park to walk together towards our goal.

To donate please visit my fundraising page, and click on the "Give Now" Button: http://awny2013.kintera.org/jorgellanos

To join the team please visit the team's page, and click on "Join Our Team" button: http://awny2013.kintera.org/abfabforacure
You can also support the team by making a donation on the team page.

Or, if you know of anyone who would be interested in participating please forward this email, and let them know about the team. Spread the word and get the message out there.
I hope you can support me and the team in any way you can. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,

Help me at this year's AIDS Walk NY

Hello there,

Jorgie here reaching out to you to join me in reaching an extraordinary goal: a world without HIV/AIDS. You may have seen over the past few months articles and news about a functional "cure" to HIV. These stories are developing, but they are true. We are closer than ever to finding the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to this terrible disease. Please take a few minutes to read the following articles to understand these milestones:

ABC News: 14 HIV Patients Have 'Functional Cure'

MSNBC News: A baby now free of HIV has doctors talking about 'cure'

 I have been a part of the AIDS Walk for the past 5 years exactly for this reason: to find a cure and eradicate HIV/AIDS, by raising money to fund research, and to provide services for the people that are afflicted by this disease. Won't you join me in this endeavor? Join me by becoming a member of my team, Ab Fab for a Cure, and raise funds along with me; or by helping me reach my goal by making a donation to my fundraising page.

Ab Fab for a Cure team page: http://awny2013.kintera.org/abfabforacure
-you can join the team through the team page. You can also donate to the team if you'd like.

My fundraising page: http://awny2013.kintera.org/jorgellanos

There are many other ways to get involved as well: Start your own team, support others who are walking, spread the word, help at your local GLBT center, etc. Hope you are able to support in your own way. If you need help or would like to contact me about the AIDS Walk you can reach me by email or via cellphone.

Get active. Get involved. Every step we take is a step towards a world without HIV/AIDS.

Until a cure is found,

Vapiano NYC

                             

If you like great Italian cuisine look no further, Vapiano is your restaurant. No only is the food exquisite, but the prices are outrageously inexpensive! You can eat well under $20.00. What is the appeal of this international chain restaurant? The food is prepare right in front of your eyes [think Italian Benihana]. Everything taste better when you see it being cooked in front of you right?

The atmosphere is great too. All the locations look like a high class lounge: Tall ceilings, plenty of space, vibrant scene [specially at night].What is the second appeal of this restaurant? When you enter you will receive a card. Everything that you order gets "charge" to this card. At the end of the night you pay for the amount of your food. It is excellent when you have a big group and do not want to have a headache figuring out the bill. Everyone pays for their exact meals.

Go check it, you won't regret it!

Union Sq. skyline

This is the view from my friend Ricky's apartment. Woah what a building! I only wish I could live in such an apartment. Jason, Ricky, and I met for dinner and after a nice enjoyable time [and tasty meal], we went to the apartment for a few drinks. Red Bull vodka is always a good drink to pass the time with friends.

Dance night

Friday night (Jan 21st) was a lot of fun. I got together with Luis and his long time friend Tomas to celebrate his 25th birthday. We ended up at RockIt, which was great. I have to say that the music was not so great at the dance floor. But the performance by [insert artist name here] was great. The crowd went wild!
Overall, it was nice to see my friends again, and celebrate the good times. Happy birthday Luis!
