Fenway Health seeks to optimize the health and well-being for LGBTQIA+ communities and those living with and affected by HIV. Through cutting edge research, education and training, and an aggressive policy agenda, our vision is a world in which health equity is achieved for these communities and the HIV epidemic is history. 

Strides for Action traces its roots back to 1986 when it began as From All Walks of Life —one of the first AIDS walks in the country and the first fundraising walk for AIDS Action. It later evolved into AIDS Walk Boston, bringing together tens of thousands of participants and raising millions to support HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and advocacy. Today, Strides for Action is the natural evolution of that legacy, expanding its mission to address broader health and social justice inequities for LGBTQIA+ and other minoritized communities, while remaining committed to ending new HIV/AIDS infections, deaths, and stigma. Since its inception, this movement has raised over $40 million—thank you for being part of this history and a future where health equity is a reality for all!
