Gimme 5!


1. Gimme 5 minutes of your time - go to my TNT web page at:

http://pages.teamintraining.org/va/anchor09/rhicks

There, you will learn more about The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and my training and fundraising progress. In the five minutes that it takes you to review my web page, someone new will be diagnosed with a blood cancer – so money for research and patient support is desperately needed.

2. Gimme 5 friends. Send this e-mail to five of your friends or colleagues and help me spread the word about what I am doing! Maybe they will want to make a donation as well!

3. Gimme 5 months of training to get ready for the Mayor’s Midnight Sun Marathon in Alaska. It is a ton of work, but it pales in comparison to what people facing cancer have to go through every day. During the five months I'm in training, approximately 21,600 Americans will have died from a blood cancer.

5. Gimme 5 hundred thousand Americans who have contracted blood cancers in the past five years. Help me help others with cancer to win their battle. LLS is helping patients live longer, better lives and you can help too!

6. Gimme a donation and I’ll give you 5 reasons I’m grateful for it. You can make a secure credit card donation online, or if you prefer, send me a check payable to LLS. For those of you who have already donated, here are 5 reason I’m grateful: (1) That I’m healthy enough to even attempt this endurance event; (2) That while cancer survival rates continue to increase, your donation will make a difference (3) Because without your donation, all I am doing is running 26.2 miles – it is your donation that is the real purpose of all of this; (4) That so many people continue to believe in me trying to make a difference; (5) For the names of your loved ones that I will wear on my wrist on race day. These give me a lot of strength during the marathon, and I am grateful for you sharing them with me.

So if you haven’t done so already but would like to, go ahead and use your fingers to write a check to LLS or key in a credit card donation online. In return, I’ll use my legs and feet to run 26.2 miles, and you’ll automatically get all five reasons for my gratitude applied to you as well!

With humble thanks,
Rebecca Hicks
