My personal message:

Say hello to my friend Patrick.  Patrick likes baseball, fishing, superheroes and swimming.  Unfortunately Patrick does not get to do those fun things as much as he likes.  That's because Patrick has cancer.  Specifically, he has neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer that affects his central nervous system.

On September 27, 2009, I will attempt to complete a half-Ironman triathlon in Augusta, Georgia.  The event consists of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56-mile bike and then a 13.1 mile run.  It won't be easy.

The pain and sacrifice I am experiencing during my training and that I will certainly feel on race day are nothing compared to the pain endured by Patrick, his family and far too many kids and families with cancer.

Please help me help them by donating to CURE Childhood Cancer.  The race is 70.3 miles long and I am hoping that you will donate at least $70.30. 

CURE is a fantastic organization that provides financial assistance to families and also funds much needed clinical research that will hopefully lead to a cure within our lifetime.

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 please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! 

All the best,

Leslie
