This event is in memory of Patrick Fortin who was diagnosed HIV positive at age 7 due to tainted blood. The Patrick4Life organization is raising awareness of HIV/AIDS in his name through various educational activities. This healthy event provides a positive way for our organization to connect with the community and help raise awareness.
