Yesterday was the kick off event for my AIDS Marathon and it was really great to hear all of the inspiring stories of other marathon runners. The opposite of that was hearing the very depressing and very true facts about what a hard hit AIDS research and assistance has taken in this recent economy. The money is decreasing and the number of those affected is increasing. However the APLA (AIDS project LA) is still continuing their hard work despite these cuts, and they do it with hope and a friendly face. The whole morning was filled with smiling faces and inspiring words, and I feel really good about my decision to do this marathon. Huge thanks to everyone who is supporting me in this journey and I will continue to keep you posted on my progress!
Love to you all!
