Adam's Marathon- Country Music Marathon
The mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society:
Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myloma, and improve the quality of life and their families.
This is why, I am going the Distance!
This Spring on April 28, 2001, I will be running in the Nashville Tennessee Country Music Marathon with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s, Team in Training program. In doing so I have committed to run my first marathon and raise money for leukemia research, patient-aid services, and community service programs.
As an employee of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I have had the opportunity to travel to many marathons all over the country, and share the blood, sweat, and tears with thousands of athletes. It is their PAIN, I mean, it is their VICTORY which has inspired me to run a marathon of my own. THAT’S RIGHT, I will run, walk and crawl, all 26.2 miles of the Nashville Country Music Marathon, on April 28, 2001.
I have committed to raising a minimum of $10,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and in honor of my friend Beth Gershowitz. Beth was diagnosed with type “ALL” Leukemia when she was 12, and has recently celebrated 13 years in remission. This letter goes out to you because I am asking you to contribute as generously as possible to The Leukemia Society, on my behalf. Although Beth won her battle against leukemia, millions of children are fighting their battle everyday, in hope of a cure. Already tremendous strides have been made, in the survival rates of juvenile leukemia. Survival rates have climbed from 4% to 80% in the last thirty years, and more advances are being made all the time as a result of research we fund.
As I run the 26.2 miles, your support will instill the will, inspiration, mental and physical toughness to complete my task. The finish line is a long way away for myself, but the finish line for a cure to leukemia could be right around the corner with your help. This is by far, the most challenging event I have ever committed to; yet it pales in comparison to the challenge that leukemia patients face everyday! Please complete the enclosed pledge form and send your 100% tax-deductible contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by March 23rd, 2001.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone or via e-mail. My work number is 631-752-8500, X-17 and my e-mail address is awallach1@hotmail.com
