SABRES FIGHT FOR THE CURE

the problem:

HIV/AIDS is sometimes overlooked amongst teens. They think that they won't be able to catch it because they're "clean" and "healthy", when in actuality ANYONE is capable to catching it. I want to get everyone in my area, mainly teens, to become aware of this issue and help me take a stand. It would be nice to have people help me because this is too big for just one person to do. I want us to raise money to go to funds that will help people with HIV/AIDS.
