Race/Walk for the Cure!
It's time to start
thinking about participating in the 2006 MMCF 5K Race/Walk for the Cure!
You can register on-line this year. Log on to
www.mmcf.org/2006_walk-run.htm and click on "ONLINE
REGISTRATION". Register now and save $5.
It's not too
early to start seeking donations from friends, family, and co-workers. This
year, a generous portion of the proceeds will be donated to Mayo Clinic for
blood cancer research. Our goal is $20,000. That's twice what
we raised last year. I know with your help we can achieve and even
surpass that goal!
If you don't
want to participate in the event (or can't due to scheduling difficulties), but
would like to seek donations from friends, family, and co-workers, we would be
very happy to accept your donations. You can log on to www.mmcf.org/2006_walk-run.htm and either click on
"DONATE ONLINE" to donate yourself, or print a copy of the registration
form to be able to solicit donations.
The more money
we raise, the more we can help people in this community living with myeloma,
lymphoma, leukemia, and other blood diseases. Without you this event
can't be successful. Thank you,
and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
