Justin's HIV Journal Washington DC AIDS 5K 2009

Hello Everyone,
This years Washington DC AIDS Walk/5K was a complete success. Last year I raised $700.00 and this year I raised a $1350.00 dollars for the cause. That is almost half that last year I can say this year Im really proud of myself. I also met for the first time Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and also again got to say hello to DC Mayor Adrian Fenty. I got also was able to get Mayor Fenty to take a picture with Dab the AIDS Bear. I had so much fun. Also there were 612 runners this year there were 812 runners. Also I ranked 169 last year and this year I was 165. So thats a great improvement.

At the AIDS Walks there was entertainment from the DC Cowboys who I love to watch, when ever they are on stageHOT
Well the video speaks for itself and I hope you all enjoy watching it.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. BIG HUGS AND KISSES TO MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND FANS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME AND CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAIN HIV/AIDS

People should go see what Montagnier is saying now....on youtube....Nobel Laureate Montagnier: HIV Can Be Cleared Naturally - House of Numbers

basically he's saying you don't need a virus of mass destruction to explain why people get sick and the anti "hiv" drugs are not necessary. If "hiv" only makes people who are already sick. sick...that means "hiv" is unnecessary. Not that I think he'll be giving his Nobel Prize back. He's probably already cashed the check

I think I might go for next year, that's if I make it to the 10th grade. haha. I would love to help you raise more money for a cure on HIV. It would mean a lot to the other thousands suffering.
