<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My name is Gaylee Saliba and I am a member of the LCM. I went to MIT and finished my undergrad and masters in 2005. Some of you may know me and others not. After graduating I stayed in Boston for work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have run the Boston marathon in 2004 and 2005. My mother has always been my inspiration. This past year, despite being a qualified runner, my mother chose to run for a charity – the American Liver Foundation (ALF) Run for Research (RFR) team. In April 2006, I accompanied her to their pre-marathon dinner and was incredibly moved by the speeches, the teamwork and the mission of the charity. The team was highly motivated in raising funds for their cause. I knew at that point that if I were to run Boston again, it would be for this great charity. Here we are, 2007, and I'm very excited to participate in the 2007 Boston marathon and run for the American Liver Foundation RFR team. This will be my 4th marathon, 3rd Boston marathon. The event will be held on April 16th 2007 and I encourage all of you local to Boston or around the area to watch as it is a definite must-see. You would also be able to see all the team members – including myself – running the lengthy and hilly
26.2 miles of the prestigious Boston marathon in support of this wonderful cause. The American Liver Foundation is the US's leading nonprofit organization promoting liver health and disease prevention. ALF provides research, education and advocacy for those affected by liver-related diseases, including hepatitis. Your sponsorship will help RFR in its mission to raise funds in the fight against liver disease.

<div>I have been matched to a patient; a 12 year-old boy named Dominic who has already had 3 liver transplants. My mother ran for him last year and this year I will be fortunate enough to do so.</div>
