[Guest guest]

Running Club for people living with HIV and cancer...other upcoming local / International projects sponsored by the M. Brodsky Foundation

October 3, 2008

The M. Brodsky Foundation, a

501© 3 public charity, is pleased to announce its involvement in the

following Local/International projects:

· The 2008 World AIDS Marathon and its related Events in Kisumu, Kenya

starting 11/30.

· Fundraising dinner

at Corbin & Reynolds, Long Beach

on 10/30.

· Starting a local running

club for people living with HIV and cancer / upcoming 2009 5k AIDS Cancer Run Walk Event in America.

· Donating $10,000+

toiletry/gift items to people living with HIV and cancer the week of 11/27.

· Donated $1,500 in

toys to children living with cancer at Schneider Children's Hospital.

· Training for the

NYC Marathon with my wife, Jodi, by running 18 miles on September 27th and 19

miles on October 5th even though we still do not have official running

numbers.

· Running in the 2008

World AIDS Marathon in Kisumu,

Kenya on World

AIDS Day, 12/1.

I, Brodsky, President of the

M. Brodsky Foundation, am HIV+, a brain cancer survivor and a marathon

runner. This will be the 5th World AIDS Marathon that the Foundation will be

co-sponsoring. In addition to the 2008 Kisumu, Kenya World AIDS Marathon,

we will be co-sponsoring an orphan dinner for 350 orphans, a children's walk

for 500 children, and an opportunity to get tested for HIV/AIDS. Last year 140

people took advantage of the free AIDS testing offered at the World AIDS

Marathon in Kisumu.

The proceeds of the fundraising

dinner at Corbin & Reynolds will benefit people living with HIV and cancer

on Long Island, America

and Kenya, AIDS and cancer

research, orphans in Kenya and

starting a running club for people living with HIV and cancer on Long Island.Runners / walkers could join the running

club if they are living with HIV or cancer and they join

with a healthy person; this way no one knows who has HIV, cancer or is healthy.

There will be no membership or race day fees. If the person living with HIV or

cancer requires financial assistance for running shoes, the Foundation will

provide running shoes. We plan to have a weekly run possibly on the Long Beach boardwalk or in

various locations. We will also provide coffee, bagels, bananas and water for

the participants. No one knows better than me the positive health benefits one derives

from running as I am HIV-positive for 12 years and a 5+ year survivor of brain

cancer. It will be my greatest joy to encourage others to participate in

running so they may experience similar health benefits.

Pictured above, Jodi and I are

about to complete the March 26, 2007 Ocean Drive Marathon. On my right

is , a cancer survivor who completed 4 marathons in 9 days.

Please encourage your friends and relatives living with HIV or cancer

that you, as the healthy person, will be there for them.Running Events are a great

opportunity to not only raise awareness/money for diseases but they are also an

opportunity to collect product donations for people living with diseases. As a

result of the Foundation's 5K AIDS Cancer Survive Run Walk in Cedar Creek Park,

Seaford, Long Island on 6/22/08, the Foundation donated $1,500 in toys to

children living with cancer at Schneider Children's Hospital. We will also be

donating $10,000 in toiletry/gift items the week of October 27th to the four

groups which were involved with AIDS and mammography testing at the

Foundation's 5k event. 200 bags total will be delivered to Nassau University

Medical Center

for breast cancer survivors, and HIV+ people associated with Long Island

Association for AIDS Care, Long Island Minority AIDS Coalition and Planned

Parenthood of Nassau County. The Foundation will be sponsoring a follow-up 2009

AIDS Cancer Survive Run Walk in Cedar

Creek Park

on June 21, 2009.

before the 5k AIDS Cancer Run Walk in Cedar Creek Park, Seaford, Long

IslandMy wife, Jodi, and I are currently

training to run in the NYC Marathon although we still do not have running

numbers. However, we are officially signed up to run in the 2008 Kisumu, Kenya

World AIDS Marathon. It is our hope that the NY RoadRunners Club will grant us

permission to participate in the upcoming NYC Marathon.

We are still losing the fight against

AIDS. According to the 11/07 report issued by UN AIDS / WHO, for every HIV+

person worldwide who manages to begin treatment with AIDS medicine, there will

be 3 newly infected HIV+ people. Every day, about 5,700 people die from AIDS

while 6,800 people become HIV+. In America,

CDC issued a report in 08/08 that there are 56,000 new HIV cases annually in America up from

the estimated 40,000 as previously stated. Why then have non-medical services

for HIV+ people been cut on Long Island?!

Donations to the M. Brodsky

Foundation are greatly appreciated and can be made by mailing a check to the
