Thumbs up Relay for Life 2007 - Help Fund Cancer Research

Hi Everyone,

Last year I had several Mustang Source members that were very interested in donating to this worthy cause. I would like to thank each and every one of you that helped my team last year. In 2006 our team goal was to raise $2,500 - we doubled that goal and raised an impressive $5,000! This was more than any other participating team.

My friends and I are once again participating in the Long Beach Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research. Relay for Life is a 24-hour walk-a-thon that takes place at Cal State Long Beach. At least one person from our team must be on the track at all times during the 24-hour period. Our team is considerably smaller this year but we still have a goal of raising $1,500 by the April 20th deadline. If we get as much support as we did last year, I'm sure we will have no problem surpassing this goal.

If you, or anyone else, would like to make a donation, please visit my personal donation page here: http://www.acsevents.org/faf/r.asp?t...2201-117930127.

Thanks in advance!

Adam

Yes you did - thanks again! I appreciate the sticky, I'm sure my mustang brethren will help out like last year

Sadly, cancer will effect everyone in their lifetime, one way or another. Whether it's an aquiantance, a good friend, a loved one, or themself. One of our co-captains was diagnosed with leukemia at age six, she's now a 22 year old cancer survivor and enjoying life.

I'm up to $465 in donations but still nothing from my Mustang brothers! That's okay, at least we can spread the word.

Ben & Jerry's has really stepped up again this year. They are offering their Free Scoop Day on April 17, noon to 9 pm, and we are their charity for the event! This means any money customers donate that day are going directly to our team and the American Cancer Society - very cool. We raised almost $1000 at this event last year.

Since I last posted of what was doing this year for Cancer, well here are pictures of the event. This was that longest time I ever got to see the little Mustang, as was short lived, one day . The money I earned with it was not much, only $278, but tryed to get my club to match but like
You will find both my Stangs there as well as one of the members. The one with 3 Stangs, #1 was another member and #2 & 3 are both mine. My Granddaughter was ther, survivor, selling tickets and passing information on Cancer to all that would ask. I will be donation everthing I had left to another event this fall to another club I belong to. They have 2 events a year to raise money for Cancer.
