Last year was my first year fundraising for the Desmoid
Tumor Research Foundation and with your help and generosity I was able to
deliver over $6,000 to DTRF not to shabby for my first year, but that was last
year AND THIS IS THIS YEAR!
Recently I registered for another year of fundraising and this
year I am planning to raise $7,500, as well as increase awareness by recruiting
you, yes you to join my team. I know this
will be no easy task, but for those of you who know me know that I will not go down
without a fight.
I understand every day you are bombarded by friends, family,
organizations, schools, churches/temples, etc. asking you to do the very same
thing I am, donate money and your time (which I know is precious and limited). But let’s be honest, until 2 years ago must
if not all of you (including me) never heard of desmoid tumors and that
scares me. If no one knows about desmoids
how can we find a cure?
So I beg you please join my team and help me strengthen awareness
for Desmoid Tumors as well as shine the light on the efforts of the Desmoid Tumor
Research Foundation (DTRF).
Oh and here is a little incentive, I will give away two
$50 visa gift cards to the persons who (one to each):
1.
Raises the most money
2.
Recruits the most folks to join our team. To ensure you get credit please make sure
your friends and family incorporate your name in their own name. For example Julie’s helper, Bob.
