jimzdat Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hey gang, trying to help out the wife by getting the word out for her regarding a sponsorship. Most everyone has probably heard of the "Relay For Life" that the Breast Cancer Foundation puts on every year, but they also do a thing called "The 3 Day"--basically participants walk for 3 days, covering no less than 60 miles. The catch is, in order to participate you must raise at least $2200 in donations to go towards research. This is something my wife is wishing to take part in (she lost her mom to breast cancer a number of years ago, so it hits close to home and heart), and is asking friends and family for help in reaching the donation goal. We are also working on trying to get some local businesses to help out, but that's a little tougher. Here's the email that is being sent out: Dear Jim, This year, I'll be participating in a very special event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day. I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. I've agreed to raise at least $2,200 in donations. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation? Please take a look at the enclosed donation form and designate the amount that's right for you. Please keep in mind how far I'm walking -- and how hard I'll have to train. According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, approximately 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease. That's why I'm walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me -- by supporting me in my fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
