Our personal message:

Hello friends and family,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

As many of you know I have decided to enter the Chicago Marathon in October.  This will be my first marathon and I am very excited.  One of the reasons for my excitement is that I have decided to run for a charity, Caring for Carcinoid.   

My mom's best friend, Eva, has been diagnosed with carcinoid cancer.  She lives in Illinois and is married with two children and three grandchildren.  She is fighting this cancer with all she has but there is no cure.  Help me win a cure for carcinoid by supporting me financially.  Eva's dream is to see her three grandchildren grow up. 

The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation directs 100% of all donations to research into carcinoid and related neuroendocrine tumors research- not a single dollar is used for overhead expesnes.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  If you are unable to donate financially, please keep Eva and her family in your prayers. 

UPDATE!!!  I have currently met my fundraising goal.  A huge thank you to everyone who has helped me meet my goal but I don't want to stop there.  There is still time to donate, please do so.   

God Bless!!

Dana Rudden
