The 2006 World AIDS Marathon returns to Kenya

An $11 investment with the potential of feeding hundreds of orphans at a dinner / concert the night before the World AIDS Marathon. A donation of exactly $11 will entitle you to receive a box of greeting cards, http://worldaidsmarathon.com/card.html. Each card you send has the potential of reaching out to other caring people like yourself so they may order a box of cards. The reality is you will be sending out at least 10 notes cards per year, so why not purchase cards where the net proceeds go to charity.

The 2006 World AIDS Marathon will be held in Kisumu, Kenya, on December 1st, 2006. The marathon will be sponsored by the M. Brodsky Foundation and Kisumu AIDS Marathon Organization. Updates about the marathon and half-marathon, pre-race dinner for 500 orphans and 500 runners, post-race festivities and other activities will be posted shortly. There will be free HIV-testing and counseling along the marathon and half-marathon routes. Registration is now open for both running events via the website link, http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1345402. All inquiries about the race and other activities should be sent to both Tobias and as noted above.

There will be small cash awards for the fastest runners and they are posted on the registration page, The race is foremost about the foundation’s mission: raising money for orphans so they can live in homes where they are loved and nurtured, helping families and individuals whose lives have been affected by AIDS or brain cancer, raising awareness that all people, especially expectant mothers must be tested for HIV so the expectant mother can take medicine that will substantially increase the likelihood that the new born child will be HIV-negative, and researching for cures or vaccines for both dreaded diseases. The net proceeds from the marathon will be going to AIDS and cancer charities as per the web link, http://www.richardmbrodsky.org/support.html.

The M. Brodsky Foundation, a 501© 3 public charity, is seeking donations and sponsors. Donations can be accepted by mail or online via the websites, www.richardmbrodsky.org or www.worldaidsmarathon.com. Donations exceeding $100 and $200 will entitle the donor to a promotional World AIDS Marathon T-shirt: $100 for a name, $200 for a logo. A donation of $200 will also entitle the donor to be listed on the marathon’s website, http://www.worldaidsmarathon.com/Sponsors.html.

Why I started the M. Brodsky Foundation? I’m HIV-positive and I have brain cancer and I’m currently running a marathon a month (missed a few, broken collarbone, 12 stitches near eye) to raise awareness that 8,500 people do not have to die from AIDS every day. It’s all about having access to AIDS medicine and leading an upbeat, healthy lifestyle. I’m blessed to have been born in a non-resource poor country where we take it for granted that doctors and medicine can prolong our lives, but ask yourself the question: How would you fare living in resource-poor sub-Saharan Africa where you had no access to doctors, medicine, clean drinking water, and an adequate food supply? Hug you child good night, read them a bedtime story, and realize how lucky you are that your child is not one of the 14,000,000 orphans living in sub-Saharan Africa who has lost one or both parents to AIDS.
