Dear Brothers, Sisters, and friends of the AHEPA Family:

I'm thrilled to present an exciting exclusive offer that you will not want to miss as a dedicated Hellene or Philhellene.

Through a partnership, the AHEPA family has been afforded the unique opportunity of possessing 300 entry spots in the 2010 Athens Marathon. Why is this year's Marathon so special? The 2010 Athens Marathon will commemorate the 2,500 anniversary of the Battle of Marathon and the legendary run of Pheidippides from Marathon to Athens. Upon arriving at Athens, Pheidippides proclaimed, "We have won" and dropped dead from exhaustion. The 2010 Athens Marathon will be held October 31.

If you are an enthusiast of running, a history buff, or simply a proud Hellene or Philhellene, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will cherish forever and will want to share with family and friends. Moreover, as a result of your participation, you will be supporting the AHEPA Charitable Foundation, a 501c3 entity that assists individuals of all races, color, and creeds, in their time of need -- whether they are victims of natural or manmade disasters or suffer from deadly diseases.

Please visit www.ahepa.org/marathon for information about travel logistics and to download a fundraising kit.

We encourage you to pass this opportunity along to any family members, friends, neighbors, or business colleagues who may be interested to participate.

Thank you.
