Hope it helps the cause.

And hope we see each other soon:-)

Warmly,

Jonathan-
Thank you so much. What a beautiful tribute to Beau, and what an incredible organization you have created in your father's memory. I will discuss with Mom, Dad and Hallie. I am sure one of the Bidens, or more likely some combination as we like to travel in packs, will be there. Let's talk early next week. I've cc'd Joan in my office to help us find a time. Thanks again, Hunter

Hunter:  My friend Mark Shriver was nice enough to forward me your e-mail so that I could introduce myself.  My name is Jonathan Weinberg, I worked for your father in Iowa back in 1987 and then at the Judiciary Committee.   In addition to my "Biden roots" I am the Chairman of the Race for Hope.  The Race for Hope is the largest single day fundraiser for brain cancer and brain tumor research.  Last year the Race for Hope had over 12,000 participants and raised over $2.5 million for critical research.  In the past 18 years our event has raised over $25 million dollars.   Like you, brain cancer took a loved from me having lost my father Rabbi Joseph Weinberg 16 years ago.

Each year the Weinberg family awards the Rabbi Joseph Weinberg Triumph of the Spirit Award to a person or group of people who exemplify the idea that in life we cannot always control the challenges that we face but how we deal with those challenges and how we live our lives in face of such challenges that always remains in our control.    This year our family would like to award the Triumph of the Spirit Award in memory of your brother who fought disease so bravely and to the entire Biden family for the way in which you carry on his legacy.   Your family's strength, care and compassion have touched so many of us.

The 19tth Annual Race for Hope is Sunday May 1st at 8:30 a.m. starting at Freedom Plaza in downtown Washington D.C.   I have been in touch with your father's staff regarding this event as well, but have not heard back.  My understanding is our request is under consideration.    Even if your dad is not able to make it, we would love to have you and your family with us, to join our community, and to accept our award.

Please let me know of any questions, I am happy to catch-up with you at any time that is convenient.  Thanks so much for your consideration.

My best to you and your family.

Jonathan Weinberg
