👣 Step Into the Legacy of the Nashville AIDS Walk
The Nashville AIDS Walk began in 1989, when Victoria Harris and others in the community brought people together during a time when HIV/AIDS were surrounded by fear, stigma, and uncertainty.
More than three decades later, that legacy continues — built by people who stepped up, showed up, and helped move our community forward. ❤️
At this year’s 34th Nashville AIDS Walk & 5K Run, we’re proud to honor two people who represent important chapters of that story:
🏆Legacy Award: Victoria Harris
Recognizing her pioneering role in launching the first Nashville AIDS Walk and her decades-long commitment to the HIV community.
🌟Thrive Award: Robert Gooch
Recognizing his years of service as a dedicated peer volunteer who has used his own experience to support others and strengthen Nashville CARES programs.
On September 26, we invite you to help us carry their legacy forward.
Step up. Show up. Walk. Run. Give.
