| Maurice Greene Carries a Tin 4 Aids Awareness |
Olympian Maurice Greene, the fastest man in the world, is going to be a tin carrier for the Carry a Tin 4 Aids Awareness Campaign (www.chicblvd.com/aids)!
ABOUT Maurice Greene
Career Highlights: 2000 Olympic 100m and 4x100m gold medalist; 3-time World 100m champion (‘97, ’99, ‘01); 1999 World 200m and 4 x 100m champion; 2004 Olympic 100m bronze medalist & 4x100m relay silver medalist; 2001 U.S. Indoor 60m Champ; 1999 World Indoor 60m champion; 1997, 2000, 2002 U.S. 100m champ; 1999 U.S. 200m champion; Indoor 50m & 60m dash world record holder
One of the greatest sprinters of all time, Greene entered the blocks for the much anticipated men’s 100m final at the 2005 USA Outdoor Championships in search of his fifth national title in that event. Unfortunately, near the midpoint of the race Greene suffered a left hamstring injury that kept him from completing the race. He was named to the 4x100m relay pool for the 2005 World Outdoor Championships in Helsinki, but a fumbled baton pass in the opening round disqualified the U.S. squad and kept Greene from competing. The dominant 100m sprinter of his era, Greene won the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens in the same time in which he won the 2000 Olympic gold medal (9.87). Despite an injury-shortened season in 2001, Greene remained firmly atop the world in the 100m that year, winning his third World Championships 100m gold…Greene suffered patella tendonitis throughout the season, and a quadriceps injury sustained during the world outdoor final affected his 2002 and 2003 seasons. in 2001 Greene also received recognition as USATF's Visa Humanitarian of the Year Award, in part for the work he does with the Maurice Greene Finish the Race Youth Foundation, which he founded in 2001 in his hometown of Kansas City, Kan. … Greene owns three of the four fastest times in history of 9.79 former WR, 9.80 and 9.82. He has run 52 sub-10 seconds 100 m races, more than any other sprinter in history. Added two Olympic gold medals to his five career World Champs golds at the 2000 Games in Sydney, winning the 100 and 4x100. With his medals around his neck, Greene was a contestant on the hit game show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,' winning $125,000, half of which he donated to the United Negro College Fund ... got off to a quick start in 2001 by tying his WR for the indoor 60m with a time of 6.39 in the semifinals at the Pontiac Grand Prix USA Indoor Championships … presented the winner's trophy to Jennifer Capriatti at the 2001 French Open … threw out the first ball for the Kansas City Royals' home opener in 1998...started running track at 8 years old...coached by his high school mentor, Al Hobson, until he started working with Smith in 1996. Hobson blessed the change; says Greene, 'I contacted John because he is simply the best coach around," said Greene. "You only have to look at what he has achieved to know how good he is. I wanted to be the best and California was the place to make it happen' Web site: www.mogreene.com …1999 Jesse Owens Award winner. |

In the month of November and December, we are focusing on AIDS Awareness.

| Carry the Tin 4 AIDS Awareness! |
We are inviting readers (on the GetChicMail.com list) to apply to be a "chain starter"... to inspire and enlist 35 additional people to take a mint and pass it on. Those who develop the most creative and inspiring idea will be selected to start the chain and carry the tin. If you'd like to apply, sign up for ChicMail then send your entry to aids@chicblvd.com. Videos and photos encouraged!
Each day, 2,000 children under the age of 15 become infected with HIV/AIDS.
ChicBlvd.com and Hintmint.com are partnering with Compassion International and YouthAIDS to create awareness throughout the country. PLEASE JOIN US!
We will be releasing 50 Hint Mint Aids Awareness Series tins on World Aids Day - December 1, 2006 - to selected ChicBlvd readers, including established celebrities.
Each person will take a mint and pass it to the next person until all 35 have been taken and the tin has reached the YouthAIDS Headquarters in Washington DC by January 1st.
For each tin that reaches the headquarters, individual pledge amounts will be given to Compassion International and YouthAIDS to help fight AIDS, a pandemic infecting our world's children.
We will be following along these journeys and documenting experiences, creativity and personal stories. Stay tuned to watch the tins and to get involved.
