“Cancer is a journey, but you walk the road alone. There are many places to stop along the way and get nourishment – you just have to be willing to take it.”
Emily Hollenberg, cancer survivor
If I told you that you could help to improve the life of someone you know who is affected by cancer, what would you do?
The fight against cancer goes on. There is no one I know who can say they DO NOT have a friend or relative who has battled this terrible illness. I have found a way I can help to fight this disease – through the Wellness Community’s Strive for Hope marathon team. On April 27th, 2008 I am lacing up my sneakers and running in the Big Sur International Marathon. This will be my 7th marathon and probably the most memorable because of the courage and strength of these special survivors behind me.
Top 5 reasons to sponsor Kristi in the Big Sur marathon:
- You can sleep in late on April 27th while still funding cancer support programs, while I get up at 3 am to catch the bus to the start line.
- You can transform my sneakers into a money machine as I raise $115/mile.
- Your donation is tax deductible.
- The Strides for Hope team raised over $80,000 last year in its fight against cancer. Let’s meet this goal and then some in order to help support the Wellness Community as they help people affected by cancer enhance their health and well-being.
- I’ve gone through 900 oz. of water, 30 bagels, 10 packs of gu, 4 pairs of running shoes, 3 packages of Band-Aids and 2 bottles of Advil and all you need to do is send in a check payable to the Wellness Community.
I am dedicating my run this year to all those I know who have cancer right now or have lost the battle with cancer. I would be proud to run in honor or in memory of the person in your life fighting this battle. Now, your part is easy. All you need to do is commit to sponsoring me. My part is a little tougher. I’ve committed to raising $3000 for the Wellness Community and completing the 26.2 miles – no matter how long it takes! Please donate as generously as you can by sending in your check payable to the Wellness Community of Central New Jersey to 3Crossroads Dr., Bedminster, NJ 07921 or donating online by clicking on this link. Be sure to mention in the text box that you are supporting me.
Your gift to the Wellness Community today means that another neighbor or friend will soon have access to the best emotional support needed in order to find the strength to fight this disease.
Sincerely,
Kristi Carver |
