I would ask that all of you read this from the gentleman who runs in Kelly's honor. He is a fantastic person and could use help in his fund raising efforts.
God Bless,

Subject: Racing towards a cure for Kelly
Dear Friends, family and colleagues,
As many of you already know, my very special friend Kelly Grubb's cancer
returned the week before Christmas last year. Kelly is currently undergoing
treatment in Seattle, Washington. As Kelly's fight against this disease has
progressed well past the marathon stage(11 + years) I have decided to
compete in her honor this August in Boulder Colorado at the 5430 Long course
Triathlon. This event consists of a 1.2 mile open water swim, a 56 mile
bike ride and then a 13.1 mile run. I will continue to cross as many finish
lines as necessary until Kelly can cross her finish line with a cure for
this disease.
I am raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as a participant in
their Team In Training program. I am asking for your support to honor Kelly
and help accelerate the cures for Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma. Your
generous donation brings hope to the patients and families who are on the
front lines of the battle against these diseases. I have set a personal
fundraising goal of $9000.00 for this event.
Kelly has touched and inspired so many people during her cancer journey.
Kelly is the sweetest person I have ever met and she is also without a doubt
the toughest. The special bond and love I have for Kelly is such a
blessing in my life.
Please use the link in this email to donate online quickly and securely.
You will receive a confirmation by email of your donation and I will be
notified as soon as you make your donation.
On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your
support. I really appreciate your generosity!
