READ!!! AIDS MARATHON & MY SIS

Hey all, I am humbled and proud to inform those who do not know that my sister is running in the AIDS Marathon! In doing this, she needs to raise $3,000.00 to help put a dent in the fight for treatment and a cure for AIDS. Here is her plug and a link to the site to support her in this cause! By the way, did y'all know that I am living with HIV? I am sooo proud to have such a loving and coolio sister! Here is the plug:

Thank you for visiting my AIDS Marathon Donation Page:http://www.aidsmarathon.com/participant.asp?runner=LA-4632&EventCode=HN04 As you can see, I am training for the 2004 Honolulu, which will take place on December 12th, 2004. Since June, I've run nearly 500 miles in a six-month training program put on by the National AIDS Marathon. It's an exciting journey. And even though I'll be getting up at the crack of dawn (the gun goes off at 5AM to begin the race!), and I may have my share of aches and pains, I know it will be worth it.

Did you know that more than one million Americans, and 40 million others around the world, are now living with HIV -- the virus that causes AIDS? And Los Angeles has the second highest number of people living with AIDS in the nation. So the money I raise will benefit AIDS Project Los Angeles. APLA provides food banks, transportation, home health care and other vital services — to help keep people alive until there's a cure.

This is such a worthy cause. This is my way of fighting for my loved ones and the AIDS/HIV community. I would like to ask for your support. I have made a personal commitment to raise at least $3,000. Any contribution you can make would mean a great deal to me. Contributions are tax-deductible and will make a huge difference in the lives of thousands of people living with AIDS.

Thanks for your generous support.
Love,

Chin Lam
