To support World AIDS Day 2011 Bugaboo has generously donated a unique Donkey Duo stroller to Pacific Friends of the Global Fund for auction on eBay. The money raised will go to support ACON‘s Women and Families Affected by HIV Project. The stroller is only one of two in world that have been signed by Bugaboo creative designer Aernout Dijkstra-Hellinga. Launched only last month, the new Donkey Duo strollers have been hugely successful with only a limited number available in Australia due to the high worldwide demand. The innovative stroller can be easily converted – in three clicks, from a full-sized mono to a full-sized side by side duo and back again to a mono stroller. This makes it suitable for your first child, your second child, or both and for twins, all with flexible and multiple storage space.
o Through the Women and Families Affected by HIV Project, ACON provides a supportive environment for HIV positive women and their supporters, family members, carers and friends. The aim is to provide a safe and confidential environment for women to come together for emotional support and build social networks with other positive women, while developing a sense of empowerment and a broader awareness of different aspects of living with HIV including health promotion principles. The package for auction on eBay includes a unique signed Bugaboo Donkey duo stroller (retail price $1999 AUD) with one extra set of tailored fabrics in red. Go to the eBay auction to see the current highest bid and bid yourself.

The Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge were the first icons to be illuminated red on the eve of World AIDS Day 2010. Landmarks across the world followed, including the Table Mountain in South Africa, the London Eye and the Empire State Building in New York, illuminating time zone-by-time zone ending with LAX in Los Angeles.
