BOROUGH PRESIDENT HONORS NATIONAL HIV TESTING DAY Brooklyn’s Victor Mooney to row for 48 hours at Borough Hall in preparation of trans-Atlantic Voyage from Africa to Brooklyn
On Friday, June 25, Brooklynite Victor Mooney will begin rowing for 48 hours to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and National HIV Testing Day, which is Sunday, June 27. The rowing marathon simulates Mooney’s planned February 2005 trans-Atlantic journey from Goree, Senegal, in West Africa to Brooklyn to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. This Friday at Borough Hall, Mooney will alternate rowing for two hours and resting for one hour, as he will do on the specially designed rowboat he’s taking on the solo journey from Africa to Brooklyn. The 8,000-mile route Mooney is taking will pay homage to the millions of Africans slaves who were forced to make the journey to America. Mooney, who works as a communications officer at the ASA College of Advanced Technology in downtown Brooklyn, has been inspired to raise HIV/AIDS awareness by the death of his brother and by the work of the late New York City Cardinal John O’Connor. Anyone can assist Mooney’s effort by donating $10 in exchange for having their name imprinted on the side of the 24-foot rowboat. Further proceeds will also benefit various AIDS organizations. For more information, visit Mooney’s website, at www.goreechallenge.com; or call Paula Cox at ASA College of Advanced Technology, 718-744-0602. |
