I’m Supporting the Fight Against Cancer, and I Need Your Help

Next summer I’ll be participating in the LIVESTRONG Challenge Philly as a member of Team Fatty. If you’re not aware, LIVESTRONG seeks to inspire and empower people affected by cancer and through the LIVESTRONG Challenge I’m picking a fight with cancer and uniting with others who are interested in making cancer a global priority.

On August 22, 2010, I’m going to ride my bike 100 miles. In addition to this, I’m hoping to raise at least $1000 for the fight against cancer. With your help and support, I know I can accomplish both. I’ve established a personal website, http://philly2010.livestrong.org/veloloser, where you can learn more about my participation and contribute to the cause. Remember, every dollar counts.

For me, cancer is a very personal issue. Cancer has taken the lives of several members of my family – including my wife’s mother and my step-brother in the last year – and many more friends and colleagues lives have been affected by cancer, either by their own battle with the disease or that of a colleague, friend, or loved one. I’m tired of feeling powerless while people I care about are suffering. By participating in the LIVESTRONG Challenge, I can do something.

Cancer crossed the line. Now, I’m riding to stand up for the 28 million people living with cancer worldwide. I’d like to thank you in advance for your donation. If you can’t donate, please think about joining me by registering on www.livestrong.org/team.

Thanks!
