Dear Friends and Family Members,
I'm inviting you to assist me in raising money for a very worthwhile cause in our fight against cancer. Each of us has experienced cancer ourselves or had a loved one affected by it.
I have registered for the Pan-Florida Challenge Cancer Ride. I plan to ride 100 miles again this year, weather and energy willing, to raise money and awareness in our on-going quest to fight cancer and its causes.
Funds raised will be used to distribute nutritious cancer fighting food to hungry kids right here in Southwest Florida, to fund cancer prevention research through our affiliation with the Moffit Cancer Center, and to support cancer patients and their families.
Pan-Florida Challenge has long known that hunger greatly affects a child's performance and behavior in school. Studies also show that lack of nutrition or bad nutrition can drastically affect many aspects of health, including the risk of developing diseases like cancer. Pan-Florida Challenge recently expanded their mission to include cancer prevention so that even more people can be helped. In just eight years, Pan-Florida Challenge has provided over eight million meals to hungry children, providing healthy buidling blocks for their future.
This April 6th, I will join hundreds of other riders who are all committed to fighting cancer. I will endure physical pain so I can help those in our community who need it the most. Just $35 will provide nutritious cancer fighting foods to a hungry child for a month. $100 will help sponsor education programs that teach healthy eating techniques. Gifts of all sizes will support research and education at partner organizations including Moffitt Cancer Center and Cancer Alliance of Naples. Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up!
We can fight this - together. I thank you, and thousands of people in need will thank you, too.
Evan
