United StatesDear Family and Friends,
This past school year, my life drastically changed when one of my former kindergartners, Jared Forman, lost his young life to cancer. Jared was a bright, inquisitive student who was wise beyond his years. He loved learning how to read and loved solving math equations. However, what stood out to me the most was how much Jared cherished his family and friends.
Though my time with Jared was brief, his impact on my life has inspired me to join the cause in the fight against childhood cancer. I am teaming up with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer and I will run 26.2 miles at the New York Marathon on November 2 in Jared’s memory.
Through your generosity, your donation will fund research projects, create a Travel For Care Program to assist families who need to travel for treatment and provide resources for all children and families as they fight childhood cancer. To help you understand the urgent need for funding, here is a staggering statistic: Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children in the United States today.
Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to support me in tackling this endeavor on behalf of Jared, and all children battling cancer or who have lost their battle to cancer.
Love,
Julie
