2008 and Beyond The New Jersey Marathon & Long Branch Half Congratulations & Thank You to all of our team members who participated in this years event in Long Branch, New Jersey World Hepatitis  Awareness It’s Time to Act!  Bosco's Buddies and The New Jersey Marathon is proud to support World Hepatitis Awareness in May 2008. Together with over 200 patient groups from around the world we are pledging our support to the first truly global awareness event for chronic viral hepatitis B and C. Approximately 500 million people worldwide are affected by hepatitis B or C and the majority of those infected do not know. 1.5 million people die every year from either hepatitis B or C. Hepatitis C is 10 times, and hepatitis B 100 times, more infectious than HIV. If left untreated, hepatitis B and C can lead to cirrhosis, and potentially liver cancer, liver failure and death. Together we can all make a difference and supporting World Hepatitis Awareness May 2008 is an important first steps towards this. If you would like to get involved please email us. It’s time to act - please join us!   Write your Senator and Representative and show your support!
