Run for the Cure

I just got this email from my brother. I knew the friend Alex mentions below. He was one of those genuinely nice and fun guys who no one could ever dislike. Anyway, I wanted to share it with you.

i'm participating in a fundraiser for breast cancer on october 1st where i will be running 5k, imagining that i'm stomping on cancer with each stride. you might already know that i lost a really amazing friend last month to cancer, and while it wasn't breast cancer, a number of his friends are running together as a team called, 'the palligators' to support the canadian breast cancer foundation. it should also be noted that he is not the first person this group of friends has lost to cancer.

the point of this run is to raise money to research treatment, early detection and prevention in addition to supporting communities and families affected by breast cancer. so, having said that, i need your help reaching my personal fundraising goal of $500, and my team's fundraising goal of $3000. i've included a link in this e-mail which will take you to my donations page. you can do it online with your credit card and it's super quick and easy. you even get a tax receipt for your charitable donation. plus, i'll be eternally grateful.

even if you can only donate $10, it will put me that much closer to my goal.

thanks in advance.

alex.
