Over 40,000 people gathered in Central Park on a gray day for the 26th annual AIDS Walk. The six mile walk through the UWS raised more than $6 million altogether for various organizations that provide services for people with HIV and AIDS. We just hope everyone made sure to wear the ribbon. more ›

Today makes the 25th AIDS Walk in NYC. The walk, which raises money for the Gay Men's Health Crisis and other AIDS service organizations, is expected to include tens of thousands of people (45,000 participated last year) as it heads through Central Park onto West 110th Street, then south along Riverside Drive, and finally at West 85th Street back east to the park. The walk has raised $110 million since 1986; an 86-year-old Brooklyn woman who has walked each year (she and her husband wanted to support their gay son) has raised $629,000 since the first one. If you have photos of the walk, you can email them to tips@gothamist.com or tag them "gothamist" on Flickr. more ›
