March 13th - American Cancer Society, Inc.
My father died on March 13, 2003 from lung cancer. After smoking for nearly 50 years, dad had quit 10 years before he died. This site is dedicated to him to all others that have fell victim to the various types of cancer.
In early 2007, my good friend Karie died from ovarian cancer... she was not yet 40.
Recently, my nine year old daughter Kira had begun raising funds and awareness for causes dear to her heart. In this, she has motivated me to play my part.
Ever since dad died, I wanted to do something to honor him, while helping others.
My objectives are simple...
1. Raise awareness and encourage regular vistis to your doctor. Early detection can save lives.
2. Raise funds to continue to fight cancer with new research and treatments.
Look around you... chances are that you know someone that knows someone who is fighting cancer. The numbers are staggering.
Will you please join me in support of the American Cancer Society? Thank you for your consideration.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
