This page is not some hacker's joke. I, Dick Chase, husband of Francie, father of Samantha and Halle, the last person that would have ever come to your mind when hearing the words "Boston Marathon" (let alone "running" or "exercise"), have begun training to run 26.2 miles from the town common in Hopkinton to Boston's Back Bay this April. But, I'm not running the marathon on my own. I'm running as a part of the American Liver Foundation's Run for Research 2009 Marathon Team.

As someone who has successfully rid themselves of the Hepatitis C virus,the American Liver Foundation has become a cause that's very near and dear to me. When I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C back in 2005 I was given a 50% chance successfully eradicating the virus from my bloodstream. My success means that someone else hasn't been successful, and that's just not right.

Your donation today will take me one step closer to Boylston Street on April 20, and take all of us another stride closer to a world free of liver disease!

Also be sure to visit my marathon blog at http://www.dcmarathon.org and follow along with me on my journey to the finish line of the 2009 Boston Marathon!

Donating is easy! Just click the “Click Here to Sponsor Me” button.

Why Support the American Liver Foundation

30 million Americans - one in every 10 - are or have been affected by a liver, biliary, or gallbladder disease.
Liver disease is the ninth leading disease related cause of death in the United States with more than 42,000 people dying each year.
There are more than 100 types of liver disease, with hepatitis A, B, and C being the most common.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, an obesity-related chronic liver disease, may affect as many as one in every four adults over the age of 18.
Hepatitis B and C infection significantly increase the risk of liver cancer, one of the few cancers currently on the rise in the U.S.

Many forms of liver disease are preventable, and many more can be treated effectively if detected early. The Run for Research team is working towards a world free of liver disease. Please help me make that goal a reality!
