Singer Sabrina Washington to walk for Crusaid
Singer Sabrina Washington will join thousands of Londoners on Sunday June 7, on Crusaid’s Tenth Annual 10k Walk for Life to benefit those with HIV/Aids. “It’s my pleasure to be taking part in Crusaid’s Walk for Life this year; I have friends who have been affected HIV and AIDS and walking to raise money for such a good cause is my pleasure.
“Yes Africa has a large population of people dying from this illness, which still has no cure, but it seems that because the situation doesn’t appear to be on our doorstep, we tend to push the fact that thousands of lives are being taken away daily, even here in the UK,” said Sabrina.
Crusaid aims to support people affected by HIV and AIDS living in extreme poverty in the UK and internationally. In the UK there are currently 80,000 people living with HIV and AIDS; one in three of those people would have applied to the Crusaid Hardship Fund for financial assistance. Sabrina, former member of successful girl group Mis-Teeq, will be swapping her stilettos for trainers on the day and has taken to walking everywhere in preparation for the event.
The event starts at Potters Field Park, near Tower Bridge at 10am and will snake through the iconic sites of London.
