Hi! I'm helping raise money to help fight cancer. I'm taking part in the 25th Annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life on June 13 and 14, 2009. Almost everyone, including myself, has a friend or family member who has been affected by cancer. I'm hoping to get as many donations as possible for this event (no amount is too small), and I'm hoping that some of my fellow ActiveRain members might be willing to help out.
Would you be willing to donate to my fundraising efforts? Please check out my personal page to find out more info or to make a secure tax-deductible contribution. Donations are made directly on the American Cancer Society's website through the link to my personal page (click in the "Donate" circle).
About Relay for Life
One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an event that brings together more than 3.5 million people across the country each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.
Relay For Life is a wonderful community event that raises money to combat this disease and to spread awareness about how we can protect ourselves from cancer. It is a fun-filled event that brings together people of all ages to camp-out and take turns walking around a track for 24 hours to signify that cancer never sleeps. It's a time of celebrating those who have battled the disease, remembering those who have died and a chance to fight back against a disease that takes too much from too many.
About the American Cancer Society
There's never been a more exciting time to get involved with the American Cancer Society. Today, the number of people dying from cancer is dropping, despite our growing population. Fewer people are being diagnosed with cancer and fewer people are dying from the disease. We know more about the causes of cancer and its treatment and cures than ever before. And we are helping to save lives every day.
The work of the American Cancer Society over many decades has helped us make amazing strides against this disease. Every dollar you provide to the American Cancer Society goes toward eliminating cancer as a major health concern. Your donation is essential to supporting the American Cancer Society's mission, which fights cancer on four fronts: research, education, advocacy, and service.
The Relay for Life is more that just a fundraiser. It's a chance for caring people in a community to come together to support each other. And support is crucial for those who have been touched by cancer. At the American Cancer Society, the funds raised through Relay for Life not only go to research, advocacy, and education, but also for vital programs and services that give people hope and answers.
Please Help Me Raise Money
I've set the ambitious goal of trying to raise a total of $3,000 for this event. I'm hoping that my fellow ActiveRain members will help me reach that goal through a tax deductible donation. No donation is too small. Every $5, $10, $20, etc. will help the American Cancer Society. Please visit my personal page and make a secure online donation through the American Cancer Society's website (click in the "Donate" circle).
Thank you for your support!!
