Because not all national disasters make the front page these days.
Approximately 40,000 people are infected with HIV every year. Because of treatment advances, HIV/AIDS patients are living longer but, there is still no cure and federal funding for research and patient care has remained flat for several years [1].
Just this summer, runners with the AIDS Marathon Training Program in DC have raised $2 million to support the Whitman-Walker Clinic, the leading service provider in the DC area for people living with HIV/AIDS.
We run the marathon in less than a month. If you've been thinking about contributing . . . now is the time.
And, a special thanks to folks who have contributed:
