Dr. Anne Atwell, Minister of Connections of Sunshine Cathedral. “Our church is rooted in supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and participating in this walk is an extension of our commitment to social justice and equality for all.”

Participants can join the Sunshine Cathedral team as walkers or “virtual walkers” and raise funds to support the cause. Financial donations from family and friends towards the walk are also encouraged.

“We are grateful to everyone who is dedicating their time, energy, and resources to the Florida AIDS Walk,” said Tito McWilliams-Ramos, the team captain for Sunshine Cathedral. “We know that every step we take and every dollar we raise will make a difference in the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS.”
