For nearly 30 years, I have worked alongside people living with HIV to help advance their rights and ensure access to life-saving healthcare. Today, EDGE is a leader in health equity as the only HIV and LGBTQ+ serving organization in Morris County.

As I begin my tenure as EDGE New Jersey's CEO, the 2026 Walk marks a very special year for me. While I am thrilled to lead this incredible organization, it comes at a time of significant political and economic turbulence. EDGE NJ, like many other organizations serving the HIV and LGBTQ+ communities, is facing threats to long-standing federal grants that support HIV care and prevention programs.

Please consider making a donation to my fundraising page and help ensure that our lifesaving programs remain available to those most in need.
