Dear all,
On the 26th of May, 2012 and the 8th of July, 2012 I will join thousands of other people on a 5k and 10k run respectively as part of the Race for life initiative and the Kidney Research British 10k run. These events raises money for Cancer Research and the Kidney Research UK. The goal of this journey, is to raise funds for research into lifesaving work targeted at the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of both Cancer and Kidney diseases in the UK. Indeed, you will agree with me that such work have far reaching consequences and the benefits will extend to developing countries in Africa and Asia.
I am writing to you today to ask for your support of this effort.
I know from my own experience of losing the best man at my wedding to cancer, that cancer is real and the effect can be catastrophic. He fought very hard, we prayed very hard, but in the end, we believe God wanted him home. I have been forever changed by this loss and will continue to miss him deeply every day of our lives. By participating in this event, I hope to raise awareness of the serious threat that Cancer and Kidney diseases can pose and the treatment options that can help people overcome it. If one person can be saved from the illness that killed Dayo, my efforts to join these races and to raise money for this causes will be worthwhile.
My goal is to raise £500 or more for each organisation. I hope that you will help me reach my goal by making a donation today. Please don't wait until you know someone who has cancer or kidney disease before you donate. Donate now! By doing this you are also sowing into a great cause and saying a prayer for yourself.
