Please sponsor me... again · 8 February 10
Hey Everyone!
On June 6th, 2010 I will once again be running for a personal best at the San Diego Marathon. A personal best in speed AND in fund raising as a member of Team In Training raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC). So, here I go again, asking you to help by making a contribution! When you contribute, you are supporting LLSC‘s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. You can help by making a secure online donation using your credit card. Click on this link: http://tinyurl.com/brock-tnt
You will receive an email confirmation, along with a tax receipt for your donation (of $10 or more) and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation.
I’m completing this event in honour of all the people who are battling, or have battled, blood cancers, in particular my good friend Franny (who is currently in treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma), my running buddy James (a Lymphoma survivor), my grandmother Lena (a lymphoma survivor), my grandfather Bill (who died of Lymphoma) and my cousin Janice (who lost her battle with Leukemia at the age of 28).
Every five minutes, someone learns that he or she has leukemia, Hodgkin (or non-Hodgkin) lymphoma or myeloma. Every ten minutes, someone dies of a blood cancer… so I don’t need to tell you how much I stand behind and believe in this cause.
Please, donate what you can and feel free to forward this email along to anyone and everyone – my personal fund raising goal is $5000 so every little bit helps!
I offer you a huge “thank you!!” in advance for your support and I very much appreciate your generosity!!
