GILDAS CLUB-METRO DETROIT

Gilda's Family Walk 2010 Lawrence Tech, Southfield,  Michigan

Gary Collens's Fundraising Page

 

August 10, 2010
 
 
Hello All,
 
  Well, it is that time of year again when I come to you asking for your financial support to help me help Gilda's Club of Metro Detroit.  Gilda's is the place CANCER SUPPORT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY, THE WHOLE TIME.
  Rose and I were both active in Gilda's, she was in a group with other cancer patients and I was in a group of caregivers of cancer patients.
  Gilda's is a FANTASTIC place that is really there for all people who need support.  You do not need to be a family member, you need only to be touched by cancer, a friend of someone, a relative or an aquaintence.  As long as you feel the need of that support because your life touches someone going through this.  You just need to feel a need for support and go through a new member meeting.  Your connection, as is ours, is our family member or friend is fighting cancer.
  Please support me in my effort to support Gilda's.  Either donate by going to the following link, or email me and I will write your name and donation amount down and then after the walk contact you for your donation.
  I will admit life is easier if you donate via the link below, at least that is what I found out in the last couple of years, but if you want to send money after the that is fine with me.  Feel free to send me your donation at:
Gary Collens
841 West Lewiston
Ferndale, Mi 48220
  This is how you reach me via Firstgiving.com
 
  PLEASE SHARE THIS EMAIL WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, I COULD USE THE SUPPORT AND GILDA'S CAN USE THE $$.
 
  You may ask why the word cancer is always small, it is my way to take away power from that word.
 
  Thank you in advance for your continued support,
  Gary Collens
