Body: Please light a candle!

Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical monolith that charges nearly $1,000 for a 30 day supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications, is donating $1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who simply visits their website and "virtually lights a candle." The tally is over 800,000 now.

Please, please take a minute to "light a candle":

P.S. Please, take a few seconds to repost this so that the word can get out to as many people as possible. Thank You!

    I went. The current tally was 999,103. There was also a note on the bottom of the page saying the maximum donation for this campaign is $100,000. So, this appears to be very close to maxing out.

      If $100,000 is the max then wouldnt that mean that its maxed out already by $899,103?
