Dear Friends and Family,

Again I’ve decided to take on the tremendous challenge to help in the fight against AIDS, and I really hope you will support my efforts. Over the next several months, I’ll be training to complete the Maui Marathon on September 20; Plus, I’ve made it a personal mission to raise as much money as possible for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC).

Several times a week I’ll be up at the crack of dawn and hitting the streets as some of you are getting into a nice hot shower or enjoying a cup of coffee. Overall, I expect to log about 500 miles! When the going gets tough I’ll think about how lucky I am to be able to do this sort of thing when so many others can’t.

Nearly 1.2 million Americans are now living with HIV, and 40,000 more will become infected this year! These aren’t just numbers; they’re real people and real families. The AIDS Foundation of Chicago is leading the fight against HIV/AIDS in the Chicago area by funding prevention programs and vital services such as medical care, food and housing, to stop the spread of HIV and help people live full and productive lives until the day there’s a cure.

Please donate today by clicking the button to the left that says, “Sponsor Me.” It’s easy – all you have to do is click the button and you’re ready to donate. Help me reach my fundraising goal and make a difference in the life of someone suffering from HIV/AIDS. Thank you so much for your support.

P.S Tell all your friends about me and this fund-raising effort, thanks!
