Thanks For Your Support



2012 Twin Cities 3-Day for the Cure



Mary Jo and I would like to sincerely that all of you who donated, volunteered or assisted the participants of the Susan G Komen 2012 Twin Cities 3 Day For The Cure.  With your help and donations we raised $3.8 million dollars towards breast cancer research.  This is an amazing accomplishment and I am deeply moved by so many peoples generosity and kindness.  Mary Jo and I plan to continue in the years ahead to do whatever we can to bring awareness about breast cancer by volunteering and fundraising for a cure so that some day there will a cure.   We don't want families to have to endue the pain and scares, both physical and emotional that effects those touched by this deadly disease. 

Fundraising is extremely important but I also feel the sharing of information is key to spreading awareness about breast cancer for every ones benefit.  I have shared Mary Jo's story in this blog to inform and most importantly hopefully help others however not everybody feels the same way about their own personal information regardless of whether or not others could benefit from the information in their story.  I was reminded of this yesterday so I have respectfully made changes to several previous blog posts from the past couple years that did not directly address Mary Jo by deleting them.  We live in a very litigious society.  I just want to help people have a future, not potentially harm it.  Please let me know how you feel about this and thanks a million (actually thanks $3.8 million)

In just 13 days Mary Jo and I will be participating in a very special and powerful event in the fight against breast cancer.  The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure is a 60-mile walk over three days to raise money for breast cancer. The money raised from the 3-Day for the Cure fund innovative global breast cancer research and local community programs supporting education, screening and treatment. Virtually every major advance in the fight against breast cancer in the last 28 years has been impacted by a Komen for the Cure grant. Mary Jo and I have pledged to raise $5000 but we are a still little short of our goal and we need your help. There is little time left this year to donate to our efforts before the start of the event. Would you please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help me meet my goal?

Somewhere in the world, a woman dies from breast cancer every 69 seconds. That's why I'm doing this - to do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting my fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

P.S. Ask your employer if they will double your donation through a matching gift program!
