On 3 November, Andrew O'Brien ran the New York marathon - his sixth marathon since June this year. Andrew dedicated his run to Josephine, a young woman from Uganda who was born with HIV. With the help of ISIS, Josephine and her family were able to cultivate a plot of land in the village and build a home in which they now live. Josephine's health stabilised and she is able to concentrate her efforts on her schooling and helping her mother in caring for her younger siblings, all of whom have since tested negative for HIV. Money raised by Andrew from his 12-in-12 challenge will go toward continuing the great work that the Kiwoko Hospital does supporting local HIV sufferers, like Josephine and her parents. HIV continues to be a huge issue in Uganda but you can help Josephine and others like her by donating to Andrew's campaign at: www.justgiving.com/ISIS12in12
