Hi everyone!
It's that time of year again.
Last year, thanks to all of your incredible generosity, I was able to raise almost $8,000 for finding a cure for childhood cancer through the wonderful St. Baldrick's Foundation.
I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN!
As many of you know, our baby boy Kevin is bravely battling Leukemia. Because of all the truly remarkable people at Albany Medical Center Kevin has responded well to his treatments, and is going to be ending his daily doses of Chemo, THIS MONTH, yeah! We are one step closer to him being cured for life!
December 11th, 2006 marked the beginning of this long journey. On April 5th our sweet little boy will turn four! Through it all he has been an inspiration with how tough he has been, reminding us daily of what is truly important.
None of this would have been possible if not for the incredible research being done by the people dedicating their lives to fighting this terrible disease called cancer. Kevin is with us today because of wonderful people like you who donate so generously to this fight!! And, he is benefitting directly from St. Baldrick's. His hospital has received grant money from the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
I realize that this is a difficult year, and times are very tough. I completely understand if you cannot match what you gave last year. BELIEVE ME, I wish I didn't have to ask for your money. But the reality is that this monster called cancer doesn't know that there is a recession, and it hasn't taken a break. Maybe THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THAT WE FINALLY FIND A CURE!
If you can find it in your heart to donate again, I am eternally grateful. If you can't, could you please forward this to someone who might?
Remember that St. Baldrick's is fully recognized by most gift matching programs, including the GE Foundation.
God Bless,
Mark
