Over forty (40) members of Team Sidelines crossed the finish line on Sunday, March 15, 2009 demonstrating their commitment to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS by completing the 10 kilometer (6.2 miles) walk through the heart of downtown, Fort Lauderdale for the Florida AIDS Walk. The picture-perfect day began at Huizenga Plaza, where thousands of walkers and volunteers gathered to hear the sweet, melodic music of the Gay Menís Chorus, words of gratitude from community leaders and the much awaited special guest appearance of actor Blair Underwood making his second appearance at the Florida AIDS Walk. Along the walkís route one could hear enthusiastic chants from the various teams of walkers and wild applause from spectators cheering them on. Nothing, however, was more moving and heartfelt than looking over the Las Olas Bridge and seeing the wave of humanity as thousands moved through the streets of Fort Lauderdale. ìIt was a great day for those struggling with HIV/AIDS,î commented Team Sidelines leader and co-owner of Sidelines Sports Bar, Laurie Whittaker. She continued, ìThe solidarity we felt as one community standing together for one cause was both uplifting and fulfilling. Congratulations to all who participated!
