It’s almost been two years since I ran my first marathon in Honolulu. When I started training the first time, I never could have imagined that I would be ever doing this again.
But here I am several marathons later, realizing that I am now addicted to long distance running.
Running has become a passion and running for a cause makes the grueling 26 miles easier. From March to August – I will be logging 500 Miles in this training program which is raising money for fighting AIDS
AIDS is an epidemic that though lot of progress has been made, is far from being over. Sadly, AIDS is now the leading cause of death for all people ages 15 to 59 worldwide.
According to UNAIDS, “Every day over 6,800 persons become infected with HIV, and over 5,700 persons die of AIDS, mostly because of inadequate access to HIV prevention and treatment services.”
That’s why I am committed to raise at least $1800 before June 2nd.
The money you all would help me raise would enable San Francisco AIDS Foundation to continue to provide the amazing services it provides to stop the spread of this dreadful disease.
Thank you for supporting me in this marathon task. When I cross the finish line on August 3rd to complete the San Francisco Marathon, I’ll know that you helped me and many others along the way.
Sincerely,
Rakesh
