My personal message:

As many of you know my brother Ricardo commited suicide days after his 18th birthday. Althought, there is no real "cure" for our loss, we have learned to cope by remembering good times, participating in the prevention of suicide and helping families who have loss someone to suicide.

In our path, a key component have been the Samaritan's of Boston and their yearly 5K.  For 7 years in the row, we are have put together a team of friends and family to run or walk in the memory of Ricardo.  So please,  come and join us on October 4, 2008 (Register for the AZOCAR team!)  and/or send your donation to the Samaritans in the memory of Ricardo Azocar. (you can use this secure web page)

Thanks;

Ruben, Cecilia (sister), Dorita (mom), Maray, Jose and Andrea Azocar
