Cancer is a word, not a sentence.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. The LAF believes that unity is strength, knowledge is power, and attitude is everything. This year my wife, Nicole, and I will participate in the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Philadelphia on August 24th. I will be attempting to do a 45 mile ride through the beautiful hills of south Philadelphia and Nicole will be walking a 10k.
This year has been a little bit of a struggle as of late because on Father's Day I severally fractured my right wrist. Since then I have had surgery and currently rehabilitating quite well. The pain of a broken wrist is nothing compared to the 28 million people who will be faced with hearing they have cancer. My wrist will heal, but for a cancer patient nothing is guaranteed, progress has been made in the fight against cancer but a lot still needs to be done.
This is where you come in; help us fight cancer with a donation to our LIVESTRONG team the Marlene Misfits. Marlene's Misfits is in honor of Marlene Halstead who died from bladder cancer July 30, 2007. She was an amazing mother, grandmother, wife, and friend. I am sure all of you know someone who has been affected by cancer, yourself, a loved one, or a friend. Please join us to fight back against cancer.
With your help, we are hoping to raise $1,000 and the team is hoping to raise more than $2,500. To make things easier we have established one donation page. Please click to link to join our fight against cancer, My Donation Page
Thank you in advance for your time and generosity. We look forward to hearing from you and will be sure to keep you updated on our fundraising and training progress as we prepare for the event.
**Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested in donating. We appreciate and thank each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
