Walk for H – HSV/HPV Awareness Campaign

The Walk for H Awareness Campaign’s mission is to educate the public and increase awareness of HSV and HPV, along with reducing the stigma associated with these afflictions.  In addition to public education in regard to both the true prevalence and contraction potential of these afflictions, a sound reduction in the stigma is critical to fostering open communication in society and a further reduction in the spread of these viruses, due to personal fear of ridicule and rejection.

The Walk for H: USA was held in conjunction with the Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon on Washington DC in March, 2013.  We made direct contact with hundreds of health-conscious race participants and spectators and were able to share critical statistics and information with nearly 50,000 people, which gave them both pause to think/read and a call to action, to learn more. In addition, we were able to get our name and website out to nearly 100,000 more!

Walk for H event opportunities include:

• ProjectAccept/Walk for H HSV/HPV info flyers in up to 50,000* “race packs”, delivered to each participant
• Information booth at the pre-race expo
• Team ProjectAccept Walkers/Runners within the walk/race itself
• Information booth at the post-race reception
• On site venue access to the approximately 50,000 race participants and their friends/family

We plan to continue the Walk for H (see events page for upcoming cities) and are confident that this effort will remain one of our greatest awareness campaigns.

At our Walk for H events, each and every  Rock n’ Roll Marathon participant (up to 50,000) will receive an awareness flyer in their race packs.
