Hello everyone!
(sorry the Slide Show function is not working:(...someday I'll actually post something on Face book.
As many of you know,I have been training with the National AIDS Marathon Trainng Program since April for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon on August 2. It's been a bit of a challenge since I have not considered myself an athlete but the training has been great!!! (The Marathon is next week and I am ready!!)The people I have been training with are fabulous, both my teammates and trainers. The support has been amazing and it's been a lot of fun.

This July I turned 50 and one of my goals has been training for the Marathon (and of course, finishing). In addition to completing the Marathon I have made a commitment to raising money to support the incredible work of the AIDS Foundation. I’m not a professional fundraiser, and I never thought I’d agree to run 13.1 miles! But I am committed to doing both...with YOUR HELP!!

A woman I am training with pointed out to me that now, with many people with HIV living longer and healthier lives, a certain complacency has emerged over the years and YET, nearly 1.2 million Americans are now living with HIV, and 40,000 more will become infected this year! 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.”
*Or by check (made out to the "AIDS Foundation") sent to me:

Your donation to the AIDS Foundation will help others live more fully!!!
Thank You!
