What’s this all about?
From Bob Pries:
Hello IDO,
Most people of the Hunting Side of IDO, knew and followed my weekly updates following the story of my little buddy Kaden, who was battling a form of bone cancer. This past December 22, Kaden squeezed his mom’s hand and let go. Friends and family helped out Kaden’s family in their battle from beginning to end and still to this day, we all try to help them in there new life without Kaden. Ever since the Tjossems could they have been looking for ways to help other families who are fighting the disease of cancer as well. Logan (Kaden’s dad) and I are both signed up to participate in this event on August 24th. Please read on.
I am busy training for a 25.5 mile hike in one day. Yes, you read that correctly! Over the next three months, through rain or shine, I’ll be hiking many, many miles-and steep miles at that – to prepare for the Ultimate Hike benefiting CureSearch for Children’s Cancer.
Ultimate Hike is an endurance training program that benefits CureSearch for Children’s Cancer. I will be taking on this extreme endeavor to challenge myself both physically and mentally. But I’ve set my sights higher than just training to hike 25.5 miles. I also aim to raise at least $2,500 to help find a cure for children’s cancer, the number one cause of death by disease in children.
Nearly 13,500 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer each year. 1 out of every 5 of those children diagnosed with cancer does not survive. 3 out of 5 children who are diagnosed suffer devastating, long-term side effects.
This is where, I’m hoping, you come in. Though I can do the training, I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click “Donate” below to make a donation that will be credited to my fundraising. Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated!
You can also join the fight against children’s cancer by forwarding this email along to your contacts! You never know who might be able to help and every gift, no matter the size, is another step closer to a cure.
Thank you in advance for your support of my efforts through Ultimate Hike! With your help, I can hike 25.5 miles to give many others a lifetime of hope!
