5K / AIDS / Cancer / Survive / Run / Walk

Cedar Creek Park, Seaford, Long Island, June 22

REGISTER / DONATE http://www.5kaidscancer.com

FRESH 102.7 FM VEHICLE AT EVENT (with t-shirts and cd's)

The M. Brodsky Foundation, a 501© 3 public charity, would like to announce its first annual 5K / AIDS / Cancer / Survive / Run / Walk in America to be held on June 22, 2008. The start will be at 9 AM and all participants must arrive no later than 8:30 AM to Cedar Creek Park, Seaford, New York. This USATF (United States Track & Field) sanctioned event is limited to 450 runners / walkers.

I, Brodsky, am HIV+, a brain cancer survivor and a marathon runner. Every year my wife, Jodi, and I travel to Kenya where my Foundation sponsors the Kisumu, Kenya World AIDS Marathon which Jodi and I participate in. The 5K local event will give my Foundation a chance to help not just AIDS sufferers in Kenya, but people living with HIV & cancer in Long Island and America as well.

In addition to the run, there will be AIDS testing by Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, Long Island Association for AIDS Care and Long Island Minority AIDS Coalition. Cancer testing… mammographies and colorectal screening will be provided by Nassau University Medical Center. The AIDS testing is free and will be offered between 10 AM and 4 PM. The mammography testing is free if you do not have health insurance and will be available between 10 AM and 2 PM. Otherwise, the patient would be required to submit her health insurance and a doctor's referral and pay any co-payments not covered for a mammography. Free colorectal screening using a take home stool test will be offered to uninsured women over 50 years of age. Long Island Ovarian Cancer Education, Advocacy, Networking and Support, a group of ovarian cancer survivors will also be present to promote ovarian cancer awareness and distribute literature. Hope for Stroke, an organization devoted to educating and helping stroke survivors about how to get their life back together and move forward in a positive direction will also be present to distribute literature and answer questions. Understanding the warning signs of a person having a stroke and what must be done immediately to minimize the effect of the stroke will also be discussed by Hope for Stroke. To learn more about the events of the day, to sign up for the 5K, or to make a donation, please visit http://www.5kaidscancer.com. Donations can also be mailed to the Foundation address as noted above or sent by PayPal via the Foundation website as noted below. Donations received before June 5 exceeding $100 will entitle the donor to have their name placed on the 5k event T-shirt. There will also be race day registration if we do not have 450 runners signed up prior to race day. Online registration will be $22, race day registration $25. T-shirts will be provided to the first 300 runners. If online registration is very successful in the next few weeks, we will provide 450 T-shirts.

40% of the net proceeds will remain in Long Island and will go towards helping people living with HIV and cancer. Items such as shampoos, laundry detergent, dish soap, deodorant, cologne or perfume, tissues, toothbrushes, toothpaste, band-aids, coffee cups, soap and any free samples that people and corporations will donate will be given to those people living with HIV and cancer. Planned Parenthood of Nassau County will also be dispensing condoms at the event. The four AIDS and cancer testing organizations receiving assistance in Long Island are Long Island Association for AIDS Care, Long Island Minority AIDS Coalition, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County and the Nassau University Medical Center. The balance of the net proceeds raised will go to AIDS and cancer projects in America (10%) and Africa (50%), as noted on the Foundation website, http://www.MBrodsky.org. In addition to helping the above groups, the Foundation would like to raise money for toys / donate as many toys as possible to in-patient children at the Pediatric Hematology Unit at Schneider Children's Hospital. For further information about which toys are acceptable and how to donate toys, please contact me, Brodsky, by phone or E-mail, see contact information above.

If any local high school key club, track clubs, medical organizations, colleges, AIDS or cancer support groups, nurses, etc. would be interested in promoting and / or participating in the event, it would be greatly appreciated. For additional information, please contact me, Brodsky by phone or E-mail.
