On May 17th, in Richmond, VA, the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation
is sponsoring a race for the cure. As most of you know, my daughter Renee
was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, at the ripe old age of 39. She
underwent a mastectomy, is undergoing chemotherapy, and will undergo a
hysterectomy and thyroidectomy soon. She is hanging very tough and is
still
doing a great job of raising her three boys.

As most of you won't be able to make it to Richmond, I've created a web
page (actually, I got it as part of registering for the race) through
which
donations can be made to the foundation sponsoring the race. The web site
URL is below. Please take a peek at it, make a small (or large) donation,
and forward this email to anyone you think might be willing to help.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Help us help the fight!


We will happy to support the "race" with a donation and with best wishes for
a speedy and complete recovery for your daughter.

A bit of encouragement:

Mrs.E went through the same thing, mastectomy, 6 months of chemo and also
had nuclear radiation treatment for an over active thyroid. She was 45 at
the time. Today, 10 years later, she is healthy and cancer-free.

Interestingly, her oncologist told me at the time that they can deal with
the cancer. He was more concerned about controlling the thyroid problem,
and was successful in doing so.
