Denver's Penny DeNoble Named to the POZ 100!

Penny DeNoble

From Maria Lopez, Program Manager, Denver HIV Resources Planning Council:

I am very honored to send out this email notice to recognize the work of our very own DHRPC member Penny DeNoble!

For this year’s POZ 100, we asked individuals and organizations like you to nominate an HIV-positive person in their community who is an unsung hero in the fight against AIDS. The individuals on this year’s list may not consider themselves to be heroes, but we do. Each person—in his or her own way—is taking a brave stand against the virus. They are fighting back. They do so, not because they’re seeking glory or accolades, but because fighting back is a means to their survival.

Congrats to Denver's Penny DeNoble!!!!
