Asking for your support in the Race Against Blood Cancers

Dear Friends and Family,

This year I have decided to challenge myself in a new way while helping support an organization which I am passionate about.  I am raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as a participant in their Team In Training program for the Joe Kleinerman 10K race and I'm asking you to help by making a donation to my fundraising campaign.

Each donation helps accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. More than 823,000 Americans are battling these blood cancers.   I am hoping that my participation in Team In Training will help bring them hope and support. In order for me to run the 10K I need to raise a minimum of $500 by Dec. 1st but I know that with your generosity we can go way beyond that and make a difference together!

Please use the link in this email to donate online quickly and securely plus learn more about my progress.  You will receive a confirmation of your donation by email 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 greatly appreciate your generosity.

Thank you,

Eleonora Lupyan-Ryvkind

P.S. I would appreciate it if you would forward this email to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well. Employers often match their employees' donations even though they do not always publicly anoounce this. Do not hesistate to ask them! Thanks again.
