My friend, Hans, will be running his first marathon this December - the Honolulu Marathon to be precise. A die-hard U2 fan and dedicated ONE campaign supporter, he is asking for sponsorship in running this marathon. For every mile that he completes of the marathon, he asks for donations to an organization, Keep A Child Alive . This organization, whose spokesperson is Alicia Keys and has been featured on the Oprah show, is dedicated to supplying anti-retroviral treatment to some of the poorest citizens of the world in Africa. Almost 2 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, many of them women and children, die each year from AIDS. A dollar a day can supply life-saving anti-retroviral treatment for these people.

I know that LCT people are some of the most generous and giving people that I have met. If you find the cause worthy, I ask for your help in making the world a better place and donating to his cause.
