This post is titled Walk For Life; A Bloggers United Call to Arms by author SoulJah. inThe turnout was incredible, seeing how everything was pulled off through the collective known as Bruneian Bloggers. It's a wonder this online thing, it even surprises this old tech addict sometimes.

A nice and bright sunrise greets the walkers for the morning event, even though there were clouds looming, everyone managed to avoid the midday downpour which ensued a few hours later.

An occasion worthy to drag your friends out of bed of, almost everyone that day didn't walk alone, that in itself is pretty symbolic if you think about it.

There was some fair time to wait for others to arrive, so why not look around and see who you recognize.

English Premiership clubs has a managerie of teams that sports the colour red as their kits, so no wonder a lot of team club shirts were worn that day.

Some forego reasonable logic, and go all out to show their support, wearing an oversized Red Ribbon for the walk. Others opted for a smaller one handed out by the organizers.

Fitness Zone instructors out to show their support for the event as well, warming up those bodies from the inherent cool air surrounding the field.

Even a auntie warmed up quickly, replete in her Red tudong.

As well as government officials showing their support for the event.

Excerpt from Liyana's blog: "There are 18 people living with HIV/AIDS in Brunei, 30+ reported cases. What do you know about HIV/AIDS? What does your child, your teenager or your neighbour know about it? Everyone is at risk. Everyone."

This is Liyana by the way. "There is a large proportion of young people who are not concerned about being infected with HIV. A multifaceted approach to HIV/AIDS is prevention. Individuals, peers, families and schools should be more supportive in reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS in Brunei's small population."
