World AIDS Day Memorial

Today is World AIDS Day. This is a time to remember our loved ones lost to AIDS. It also serves as a poignant reminder for us all to help the 33 million people who live with this epidemic each and every hour of their day.

In honor of World AIDS Day, the clients and staff of Housing Works are reading a list of names of people who have died of AIDS. You can add a name and contribute personal stories. Join them in saying, “End AIDS now!”

This weekend’s NYC Marathon was exhilarating as ever, boasting some new records, marriages, proposals, and lots of laughs (also less fun apparent heart attacks). It even included one artist live drawing the whole thing from the race. Still how can you say no to a runners-eye view of the race? (via Gothamist)

This is an inspiring video for what is sure to be an inspiring and beautiful Sunday in November!  Get out there and join the over 2 Million other spectators and cheer on the 45,000 people who have dedicated so much of themselves to be able to compete in this race!  The race kicks off at 9:10am on November 6th and goes through all five boroughs of our magical city!

10 Million Reasons To Not Mind The Marathon

The New York City Marathon might be a headache for those who want to get across town (or even cross the street) on Sunday, but it is a serious windfall for the city. And not just because of all the cash being spent on carbo-loading and tree cutting. According to Mayor Bloomberg the 26.2 mile race (and its 47,000 runners from all 50 states and 135 countries) generates more than $10 million in tax revenue. “It’s one of those events that really does set us apart,” Bloomberg said yesterday before painting the orange and blue finish line in Central Park. “The race is a major boon to our economy.”

And as far as sporting events go, it is hard to argue that the Marathon (which is watched by millions each year on TV and in person) is anything but great advertising for the city. It looks this year’s race should be as good as ever, what with a cool and sunny weather forecasted. Still, it is going to be hard to top the 2011 Chicago marathon for amazing publicity—what with one of their runners giving birth after successfully finishing the race! (via Gothamist)
