PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon 2009

Justin Anderson's Fundraising Page



Hey there everyone -

As some of you know, I have signed up with Team Miracles in Motion through Phoenix Children's Hospital.  Each member of our team is running in the Rock and Roll Marathon in support of an Honor Patient. 

I am fortunate enough to be running on behalf of Joshua Gass who was recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.  Josh is only nine years old and is already fighting the battle of his life.

About a month ago I had the opportunity to meet Josh, and it was a life changing experience.  Here's a little guy who has more courage, heart, and character in his pinky than most full grown adults have in their entire body.

Meeting Josh, you would never know that he spends the majority of his childhood in a hospital getting poked, prodded, tested, and medicated to no end. What amazes me even more is that throughout it all, Josh manages to stay optimistic and is rarely seen without a smile on his face. Joshua deserves the childhood that most of us enjoyed, and I feel I owe it to him to do my part to help.

My target goal is to raise $10,000 on behalf of Joshua and his wonderful family. This is an aggressive goal, and any help towards achieving it would be very much appreciated.  If you would like to donate, please click on the "Sponsor Me Now" button at the top or bottom of this page.  This donation is tax deductable and it is simple, fast, and totally secure.  It is also the most efficent way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.

                                                                                                                                                      You can also visit Josh's website, www.caringbridge.org/visit/joshinfo which has  a guestbook section where you can write him some words of encouragement.  He checks this on a daily basis, and the notes always provide a huge lift in his spirits. Josh and I realize that for some, now may not be the best time to donate. If that's the case, your moral support and prayers are just as appreciated.                           

Thanks everybody for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. If you decide to make a tax deductable donation through this site it is simple, fast, and totally secure.  It is also the most efficent way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.  Many thanks for your support - and please don't forget to forward this to anyone whom you think might want to donate as well !!

Regards -

Justin Anderson
