The giveitthev campaign is the brainchild of founder and creator Mark Leeming. Set up primarily as a fundraiser event to raise funds and awareness of the HIV/AIDS stigma the GIVEITTHEV has rapidly become an instagram hit with people all over the world posting their selfies sporting and supporting the cause.
"When setting up the campaign there was only one charity in my mind that I wanted to collaborate with and donate all funds raised to. This was the Manchester based George House Trust. The trust has helped thousands of people over the years and it was one charity very close to my heart. I was diagnosed as HIV+ in 2002 and they have been a constant support for me throughout" - Mark Leeming, Founder giveitthev.
With the help of others we hope to end the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS, banish the misconceptions, re-educate and educate attitudes and spread the awareness so that people can make more informed decisions.
We have had an incredible response from volunteers and have a number of Ambassadors across the country and the world who are giving up their time to spread this positive message.
There will also be a number of fundraising events leading up to the big event on Sunday 7th December so keep your eyes peeled as more details unfold!
