Why
Did I Do IT? (a thought on my mind during mile 23)
|
||||||||
| To
raise awareness
1
in 20 adults in DC is
HIV+, that is 9 times the number of cases per capita than any other
city in the country. While there is still no cure, there is hope.
|
||||||||
| To
raise $ for treatment
An
alarming number of new infections are among women,
people of color,
and youth
ages 13 to 24. While treatment options and life expectancy for HIV/AIDS
patients with insurance has been improving, if you are poor, there
are very few places to turn. A
Kaiser Family Foundation study reports that an estimated 60%
of adults infected with HIV/AIDS
are not in regular care.
The AIDS Marathon program raises money for the Whitman
Walker Clinic to provide treatment to
residents of the DC Metro area.

| And
to prove it to myself

Thanks for your HELP! Thanks to the support of so many people, I raised over $1800 for the Whitman Walker Clinic. See the the Hall of Shoes - thank the sponsors! |
