Laguna dog to lead AIDS Walk team

Team Hastings is seeking a few more members willing to be led by a

very capable guide dog.

Laguna resident Michael Osborn formed Team Hastings and will

participate in AIDS Walk Orange County on June 2 at UC Irvine.

The annual walk is in its 16th year, the same amount of years Osborn

has known of his infection with HIV. Complications from the virus led to

his blindness. Osborn was paired with Hastings and the two graduated from

Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael in 2002.

The team has 25 members but is looking for more. They are also in need

of sponsorship. Donations may be made to Michael Osborn, P.O. Box 4256,

Laguna Beach, CA 92652 or on line at www.kintera.org

For information about the team, call 376-9242.

The walk will be at 9:30 a.m. at the UC Irvine Administration Loop and

Chacellor’s Rose Garden. Information: 955-1400.
