My personal message:

Dear Friends and Family, 

This year, I will be running the Boston Marathon for the Boston Living Center, an HIV/AIDS resource center.  I have been volunteering here for the past 2 months (washing dishes and serving food to members).  

This year is quite different than my last marathon run. I will be running in memory of my brother, Aaron, who died of HIV/AIDS this year.  

All money raised will go to the BLC to help them carry out the many wonderful programs that provide. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Ed Rocha
