Organizers expect 25,000 people to take part in this year's 6.2-mile AIDS Walk Los Angeles, the LA Times reports. That should raise nearly $3 million for AIDS Project Los Angeles, in line with last year's fundraising efforts.

The walk begins at West Hollywood Park, at San Vicente Boulevard between Santa Monica Boulevard and Melrose Avenue. It's not too late to sign up online or at West Hollywood Park on Sunday morning.
