In China, it is said that "one who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero" (不到长城非好汉 bù dào chángchéng fēi hǎohàn). Well, they certainly cannot say that about you if you have been to the Great Wall to support prevention, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS in China!

That’s right, sign-ups are now open for the annual China Aids Walk, which this year takes place on Nov 30 just ahead of World AIDS Day on Dec 1. Every year, hundreds of attendees flock to the wall to raise money to help end AIDS and discrimination. So far, the event has raised RMB 1.6 million, but much more is needed to put a stop the disease and the stigma once and for all.

Each registrant is advised to raise RMB 500 in money or gifts to donate to the cause. Sign-up for the event includes transportation to and from the Great Wall, a ticket onto the Great Wall, travel insurance for the day, basic walking supplies (bottled water, etc.), tea and snacks in the afternoon, and an official China AIDS Walk 2019 gift bag.
