AIDS Walk a Huge Success!


On Sunday morning, July 20th 2008, I woke up to a typical cloudy San Francisco morning. I remember thinking that this was exactly what the weather was like last year for the AIDS Walk Event. While I was getting ready, I decided to wear my ChickFight hoodie to represent ChickFight and Female Fight League! I then got my coffee and it was off to the AIDS Walk event at Golden Gate Park!

Upon arrival, I met up with my super stylish buddy, Gary. I was real happy to have him along for the 6-mile long walk. When I looked at Gary’s shoes, turns out he was rockin his cowboy boots! (Hope his feet didn’t hurt afterwards.) It was about an hour before the walk was to begin, so we went snooping around the area. It was real nice and it wasn’t too cold out either. They had a mini concert with guest stars performing, various companies were having their morning group breakfasts, and people were getting pumped up for the walk. During the concert, they also shared stories from AIDS research studies, and stories from people who have lost loved ones due to AIDS. Very touching.

When the time came closer for the walk to start, we headed to the starting line. While hanging around there, I was thrilled to run into an old buddy, referee Max Marquez! Max has been a referee for so many of my wrestling matches throughout my wrestling career. When the walk started, Max walked with us too. We exchanged old wrestling stories along the way.

What’s fun about the AIDS walk is that it’s entertaining along the way. The first group to cheer us on was The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, which was a bunch of guys in drag dressed up as Cheerleaders. So of course, Cheerleader Melissa had to take a picture with one of them! Go Team!

Other entertainment included a belly-dancing group, a scary dancing tree (which was awesome!) a couple of music bands, one performing hip hop, one performing rock, and my favorite radio station 92.7 which happened to be playing one of my favorite songs “Uninvited” covered by the Free Masons.

Along the way, they also kept us hydrated with waters, Gatorade, and kept us fed with little power bars! Another thing was great during the walk was that I was still receiving phone notifications that people were still donating to my AIDS Walk Event! That was awesome. Thanks Guys!!

Once we reached the 6 mile finish mark, people cheered for us as they passed out certificates of the AIDS Walk completion and of course…..free condoms! I thought that was great! I had to take a picture with that one!!

My walk was a great success this year and I look forward to doing it again next year! At this time, I raised a total of $1500 and I hope to beat that number next year! I want to thank everyone who donated to this great cause and thank you for supporting me, supporting female wrestling and supporting ChickFight!
