THE AIDS WALK IS PLEASED TO WELCOME THE COUNTRY'S ULTIMATE AIDS WALKER, JIM HOWLEY,

TO THE WALK THIS YEAR, AS HE SHARES HIS INSPIRATIONAL STORY AND LEADS WALKERS IN CLEVELAND'S LARGEST ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR HIV/AIDS.

In the early 1980s, Jim Howley tested HIVpositive. The diagnosis led him to a selfdestructive lifestyle-he smoked two packs of cigarettes a day and became addicted to cocaine. Ironically, it was news that he had full-blown AIDS in 1989 that led Howley to his

first triathlon. After being given just 18 months to live, he began to train. Today, nine years later, Jim has competed in more than 40 triathlons. He has completed the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii-twice, the New York City Marathon, the L.A. Marathon, the Ironman in Germany and, in 1997, founded, and completed, the "Transcontinental Triathlon for Life." This unprecedented feat of human

endurance saw him run, bike, and swim

3,375 miles, from Los Angeles to New York City in 52 days.

Exercise is indeed a powerful medicine. Jim is also the founder of Athletics Instead of Depression and Sickness. "The mission of

the group has always been about empowerment," says Jim. "Empowerment to face a challenge ahead, to fight back in the face of adversity, and to satisfy on overwhelming desire to live life to the fullest."

Jim plans to continue competing and challenging himself for as long as his health allows. We hope you will join Jim and the thousands of others on Sunday, September

It is estimated that worldwide 9 of 10 people with HIV are unaware that they are infected.
