Hello my very beautiful friends and exceptional family,

Recently, I’ve decided it would be a good idea to take on the challenge of an Olympic triathlon and joined the Team to End AIDS endurance training to help in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Crazy? Yes.

We’ve all supported someone great in our lives who tries to make a difference by running, cycling and/or swimming for a great cause. If you haven’t, lucky for you, I’m someone who is doing all three and great in need of support!

On Sunday, August 28th five months of training will pay off at the Chicago Triathlon. I hope that you all come cheer along side my Mom and wish her happy birthday while you’re at it!

I’ve got some lofty fundraising goals, and anything you’re willing to contribute will go straight to the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and pay my way to the finish line! There are a few ways to get involved!

First, click the ‘Sponsor Me’ button up there to the left!

Second, look for the ‘Share This Page’ link on the lower left side of and share it on your Facebook wall, Twitter feed, and blog!

Third, clear your calendar for Friday, June 17th for an evening filled with booze, music, raffles, and a silent auction at Studio 24 all in effort to meet my fundraising goal and send me across the finish line with success!

Fourth, for my analog family and friends, cash, check, and making it rain are always accepted forms of payment and welcomed by my wallet in person or by mail (4621 N Hermitage Chicago, IL 60640). All contributions will go toward my fundraising goal.

Thank you!
