Since I am sending this letter out in place of holiday cards, let me first take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
I am inviting you to participate with me in a new adventure I am embarking on this coming year. You don't even have to leave the comfort of your home, as I will be doing all of the work. On May 27th I will be taking part in the Capital of Texas Triathlon along with other members of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training from New York City.
We will be swimming 0.9 miles, biking 25 miles and (gulp) running 6 miles to raise money for the Society, and the blood cancer patients it represents. I’m not a runner, it’s been about 20 years since I’ve been on a proper bike, and we won’t speculate how long it has been since those life guard lessons in high school. But it’s for a good cause!
I need to raise $5000 by May 7th. I'm asking you to help by making a contribution. Each donation helps accelerate cures for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and brings hope to the patients and families who are on the front lines of the battle against these diseases.
Please use the link in this post to donate online quickly and securely. You will receive a confirmation by email of your donation and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation.
On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate your generosity!
You can learn more about my efforts and make a donation by visiting my Web site:

P.S. Please forward this post to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well! Prayers and good thoughts are also appreciated, and all contributions are 100% tax deductible.
