With a lofty $350,000 goal, the 28th annual Seattle AIDS Walk and 5K brought around 2,500 walkers and runners to Volunteer Park Saturday morning to start the traditional trek around Capitol Hill to help raise funds to help people with HIV and AIDS.

While the walk and run had felt familiar for many who have been part of it for decades, this was a big year for change for the organization behind the longtime event. CHS reported on Lifelong’s move to a new home on E Pike and the expansion of its meal services to a new facility.

Lifelong’s challenge to meet its big $350,000 fundraising goal fell a little short in 2013. This year, the tally shows the giving meter at just under $300,000. If you’d like to give it a boost, hop over to seattleaidswalk.org.
