IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN AND I NEED YOU

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).
