Dear Friends and Family,

I have been working hard to teach the students in my kindergarten class the concept of helping others. In one month alone they collected food for a local food pantry, helped to send 100 books to children in need, collected money for the Make a Wish Foundation and collected three boxes of toys for the Toys for Tots program. Their warmth and compassion has inspired me. I am training to run my first half marathon in Virginia Beach on March 21st. I am training with the Strides for Hope team, racing to raise money for The Wellness Community. The Wellness Community is an international support organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by all cancers. I have pledged to raise $3000 through Strides for Hope so they may continue to offer their services and support to anyone affected by this terrible disease. 

If you or someone you know has ever been diagnosed with cancer, you know that it can be as devastating emotionally as it is physically.  Often, medical and other practical issues push emotional and psychological issues aside.  At The Wellness Community, people with cancer and their loved ones can find hope and the tools to deal with the emotional challenges of their diagnosis and gain a better quality of life.  Programs include support groups, groups for kids who have a parent with cancer, educational workshops on how to manage chemo side effects, bereavement groups and nutritional programs to support recovery and wellness. 

All of  The Wellness Community's services are provided free of charge so fundraising programs like Strides for Hope are vital in keeping these services available.   I know the economy is tough for many of us right now but I remain hopeful that through my running and your generosity we can continue to sustain the life-changing programs offered at The Wellness Community. 

Please consider sponsoring me for this wonderful cause!  All donations are 100% tax deductible and can be made via The Wellness Community’s secure site or by mailing a check to me Jennifer Munro 476 1st Street, Troy, NY 12180. When making an online donation, choose Strides for Hope as the campaign and be sure to specify my name in the additional comments section.

Be sure to let me know if I can run in honor of anyone in your life affected by cancer by wearing their name on my jersey on race day.   And as an added incentive, if anyone donates $100 I’ll make you a batch of homemade cookies.

Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Munro
