Well Done Weldon!

For months, Weldon Kennedy, ONE’s “Internet Generalist” (read: ONE’s “Invaluable Internet Extraordinaire”), has woken up early to train for this coming Sunday’s Miami Marathon – all to raise money for the fight against HIV/AIDS.

This morning, to show our support, we presented Weldon with homemade ONE head and wrist sweatbands to wear for the 26.2 mile race. With great admiration, we wish him the best of luck!
