Better late than never ...
I have never participated in any public running event for any purpose. Somehow, I have made it an "obsession" to run 6 km every morning, 7 days a week for the last 2 years (missing only the odd days when I'm on a plane). Well, I thought for once why not run for something, rather than just do it for myself.
So, on Sunday, September 13, 2009, I am participating in the annual Terry Fox Run for the first time, to support The Terry Fox Foundation in its ongoing work to fund innovative and progressive cancer research programs..
I very much hope you will consider making a donation in support of my effort, confident in the knowledge that your kindness will impact the lives of so many people living with cancer. Let me share the following message with you, as I believe it reflects the core philosophy of this organization and one of the many reasons I choose to support it:
The Terry Fox Foundation firmly believes in its obligation to be fully transparent in all matters relating to fiscal reporting. With only 3 cents of every dollar raised going towards administration, and ten cents going towards fundraising costs, the Foundation is an industry leader in fundraising accountability.
You can donate directly and securely by accessing my personal fundraising page.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
