Dear Friends and Family, This June I will be participating in Rock & Run on the River, a 5K run/walk to benefit the Cancer Survivorship Initiative at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. I hope you'll consider making a donation to my Rock & Run campaign. This cause is near to my heart because I lost my grandfather, Herbert Blanchfield, to cancer. A World War II pilot and owner of a textile mill, my grandfather was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2000 and died a few short months later. For those of you that don't know, mesothelioma is a particularly nasty form of cancer usually caused by asbestos exposure. I am grateful for the care my grandfather received at Sloan-Kettering, and though it wasn't able to save him, I am running this race in his honor so that others may go on to live a full life after overcoming cancer. Today, more than 12 million people are living beyond cancer -- far more than ever before. This growing population of survivors faces a host of difficult challenges as a result of their illness and treatment. The Cancer Survivorship Initiative addresses these challenges. This precedent-setting program provides comprehensive post-treatment services, support, medical care, and counseling to help survivors lead full, active lives. I promise to give my all to support this important cause. I hope you can help by making a gift that will bring me one step closer to my fundraising goal.
