My personal message:

Both Jose & I are happy to be able to participate as members of the Strides for Hope Marathon Team.  We have committed to raise $3,000 and would love to have your support.  A contribution of any amount is greatly appreciated.  This is my 7th year as a Strides for Hope team member and Jose's 2nd.  Each year I am amazed and inspired by my teammates; some who are still fighting cancer and undergoing treatment while they train and raise funds for this wonderful organization.

Why do I do this?  I was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer in May of 1989 at age 31 and am fortunate to call myself a survivor today.  I've seen first hand the value of the services offered by TWC.  My Dad was diagnosed with throat cancer in May of 2004.  After surgery, chemo & radiation he’s doing well today.   I have great memories of tax seasons working for Joel C. , we still miss him 14 years after he lost his battle with cancer on March 21, 1994......He was a wonderful man that died much too young.  We will walk in memory of those that have lost their fight as well as honor those that are living with cancer today.

There continues to be a very real need for the programs and services that The Wellness Community provides.....all at no cost to those it serves.  To find out more about TWC please visit www.twcba.org.
