Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

Today is World AIDS Day. I have lost a family member and friends to AIDS or complications from AIDS. I rode a bicycle from Minneapolis to Chicago—that’s 500 miles in six days—to raise money for AIDS care organizations in Chicago. Yeah, I know, I still need to write about that.

The goal is zero by 2015 and it's possible. That’s zero new infections, zero AIDS related deaths and zero discrimination. We can do this.

Check out World Aids Day Detroit and their 30 Years of AIDS: Getting to Zero event. Donate. Get involved. Get informed. We can do this.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. It's going to be a fantastic weekend in Detroit. Noel Night is one of my favorite ways to get in the spirit of the season.
