Shawn and Gwen have made it into the voting stage of The Pepsi Refresh Project!  Make sure to vote for them everyday from today until September 30th.  They are living in Charlottesville and want to spend the next year educating 50,000 teens in 50 states on the importance of sexual health and HIV.

Shawn and Gwen have entered the Pepsi Refresh Project to win $50,000 dollars to fund their trip.  The couple currently resides in Charlottesville and have been educating people on sexual health since 2000.  From their blog (Shawn and Gwen-A boy, a girl, a virus): “By combining humor and candor, they’ve successfully engaged tens-of-thousands of college students, and have shared their story with millions of people through Cosmopolitan Magazine, MTV, BBC and HBO films.”

Follow Shawn on Twitter and read about how things are going at their blog: Shawn and Gwen-A Boy, A Girl, A Virus.
