In June of 2015 I will be racing over 3000 miles by bicycle in under 13 days in the Race Across Amercia (RAAM). While what I will be attempting is going to be exceptionally difficult and will challenge me physically, mentally, and emotionally, it pales in comparison to what those with cancer and their friends and families have to face. Early detection of cancer vastly improves survival rates, and the Canary Foundation at Stanford University focuses on research for early cancer detection. Since I have friends and family members who have been impacted by cancer, I have chosen to raise funds for the Canary Foundation while training for and competing in RAAM.
My goal is to raise $5,000 for the Canary Foundation. Donations are tax deductible, and 100% of what you donate goes directly to the cancer early detection research at Stanford University, helping with prevention, early detection and treatment of this disease.
To recognize donors, anyone who donates $30 or more can choose a time station to sponsor. Time stations are the intermediary check points along the RAAM route where racers check in. Time station sponsors will be listed here on my website, and during the race when we reach each time station my crew will recognize the sponsors of the time station on Facebook and Twitter. When you go to donate, please indicate which time station you would like to sponsor in the "Personal Note" section of the donation form. See below for the full list of time stations.
When donating, consider these facts and donate as generously as you can:
--Cancer strikes about one in three women and one in two men in the U.S.
--In 2011, new cancer cases are estimated to total 164,000 in California and 1.6 million in the US.
--Chances of survival are greater if cancer is diagnosed when still confined to the organ of origin (stage I). Survival rates decline as tumors enlarge and spread regionally (stages II, III) or distantly (stage IV).
Please join me in supporting the Canary Center at Stanford by making a donation. Thank you in advance for partnering with me!
