Background and Mission
The event originated in the mid-1980s as the AIDS Walk for Life, started by AIDS Project Rhode Island. It was part of a national wave of grassroots fundraisers created to support people affected by HIV. Today, the Run/Walk for Life continues as a fundraiser. The funds raised support a mission to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative response for people living with, affected by, or at risk for HIV.
