We're thrilled to announce that Olympic Gold Medalist Greg Louganis is the Honorary Chair of AIDS Walk Austin 2011.
Louganis, who tested positive for HIV in 1988, will speak at the opening ceremonies and will lead the 24th annual Walk. Aside from his success in diving, Louganis is an activist, actor, dog trainer, speaker and author. His best-selling autobiography, "Breaking the Surface," spent five weeks on the New York Times best-seller list. For the first time since 1988, Louganis has returned to the world of diving as a coach for Team USA in advance of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He recently started the Greg Louganis Positively Pet Fund to provide food and veterinary care for pets of people affected by HIV and AIDS.
The quilt project was started by Lisa Marie Hendricks to honor the memory of her brother and to help raise money for people alive today. More about the quilt and the drawing>
