Promoting Awareness of Hepatitis through Running

I've known George for the better part of 15 years. As a devoted Mercedes-Benz salesman, my family and I have gotten to know him rather well through his day job. But through his sincere character, honesty and devoted ways, he's become like family. He's a great friend and outright good person. We were all deeply concerned when we learned of his disease. But George is a fighter.  It's been an inspiration to watch him battle, cope with and educate about the Hepatitis C disease. George is not taking anything lying down. If it weren't for people like George, the world would know a lot less about this "silent killer." George, thank you for making me aware. All the best!

Sincerely,
Randall L. Kress

I have known George Boscarino for about eight years, six of which I have been his personal trainer.  If it weren't for George, I would not have known just how serious the Hepatitis epidemic is!  He has educated me about his illness as I have educated him about exercise and his body!  It is amazing to me that there is not more of a sense of urgency to promote awareness of Hepatitis (especially B and C).  We lose anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 people each year for each disease.  Currently, there are vaccines for A and B, but none for C.  Hepatitis B and C can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer and eventually to liver failure!

I couldn't be more proud of George "Bosco" Boscarino for his determination and drive to promote awareness and get people (like me) to stand up, take notice and do something about it!  Thank you George, for opening my eyes...
