Race for the Cure

As the world's leading breast cancer organization, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is committed to ending breast cancer forever. On May 7, 2011, I will join thousands of others playing a part in the annual Komen Salt Lake City Race for the Cure®. By making a donation on my behalf, you are supporting local breast cancer screening, treatment, education and outreach along with international research that will lead us to a world without breast cancer.

It is likely you know someone who as been diagnosed with breast cancer perhaps you or your spouse, a relative, coworker, neighbor or friend someone in your life's circle who has heard the words, "You have breast cancer."

A diagnosis of breast cancer affects more than just the patient. When someone we love is diagnosed, we all are affected. Families work doubly hard to keep homes running smoothly while the patient travels the road of breast cancer treatment. Businesses struggle, not only to support their coworker, but also to fill gaps in productivity.

You see, breast cancer doesn't care so we have to care!

My goal is to raise $100 this year. Please help me reach that goal with your financial support. Online donations are simple, and the site is secure. Please go to my fundraising page and make a tax-deductible donation online at komenslc.org.

If you prefer, mail your donation today to Salt Lake City Affiliate at 8160 S. Highland Drive, Suite A-5, Sandy, UT 84093-6579 . Please make your check payable to: Susan G. Komen for the Cure and add my name in the memo.

The deadline to have my donations collected is by April 22, 2011.

Thank you in advance for your support. Please call me if you have any questions about the Komen Race for the Cure®.

Sincerely,

Bobby

P.S. I would ask you to consider making an investment of $100 towards the fight for a world without breast cancer.

I believe strongly in this cause and I am honored to be participating in this race. We have made a goal to do this race next year as a family. I really am not asking for money. This is a pre-typed letter that they have asked for us to share. I don't want you to donate for me. Donate because you want to help those that need it. Breast cancer affects everyone. Whether you know it or not.
