$10

many of you have just received an email regarding this, but for those of you who I missed, read on.

in six weeks I will run the Chicago Marathon as the culimination of my fundraising efforts to raise $1,000 for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. thus far, I have raised over $600. however, if I don't meet my fundraising minimum in the next few days, I may not be able to run the marathon! this would only disappoint me, not only because I wouldn't be running a race that I have been training for since april, but because I wouldn't be living up to my commitment to the AFC. as I have raised over $4,600 in the last two years for AFC, not being able to encourage enough people to generously give what they can this year would be a huge disappointment.

so, if you are reading this and you haven't yet donated to my fundraising cause and would like to, please follow the link below. (note: donations have to be drawn from u.s. federal reserve banks so, friends in london and elsewhere, I'm afraid that I can only use your non-financial support on this one!)

thank you again to you all who continually encourage and support me throughout this process.
