We Need Your Help!!


As most of you may already know, Natalie's father, Lee Richards, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He is currently in his 3rd round of chemotherapy and is fighting this awful disease.

On September 22, Natalie & I will be walking in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night Walk at East Noble High School in Kendallville to raise funds to help find a cure for blood cancers. LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient aid.

Please join us in the fight to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. You can help by making a contribution to our fundraising efforts for the Light The Night Walk. Help us reach our goal of raising $5,000 as a team in 2009 by making a contribution.

Here are some suggested donation amounts and the impact you can have:

$20 (Leukemia is the leading cause of cancer-related death among children under the age of 20)

$52 ($1 a week for an entire year)

$100 (100% chance for a cure in the future—with your help!)

$150 (Enough to provide one patient with financial assistance for a year)

$360 ($1 for each patient who will be diagnosed in the next 24 hours)

$500 (Enough to fund a Family Support Group for an entire year)

$1,000 (Enough to provide one patient with co-pay assistance for a year)Other (Every dollar helps us move one step closer to putting cancer out of business!)


Please sponsor us. By doing so, we will be helping save lives together. Your contribution is 100% tax deductible. In addition to your valuable sponsorship, I encourage you to join me at Light The Night by joining my team, Lee Bob’s Crew, and walking with me as we take steps towards cures. Click to DONATE or REGISTER and click the “Walk With Us” tab at the top of the page.

Thank you for supporting us in our effort to save lives!

Sincerely,

Matt & Natalie Troyer
