So here is my shpeal...
We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. I know I have-in fact its all too familiar in my family. One of every two American men and one of every three American women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. By supporting Pelotonia, and me, you will help improve lives through innovative research with the ultimate goal of winning the war against cancer. I would love to have your support, as this is truly a unique opportunity to be a part of something special.
I have decided to be a leader in the community by participating in Pelotonia. Pelotonia is a grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. In 2012, Pelotonia was one of the largest cycling events in the country in terms of participation with 6,212 Riders coming from 42 states and 3 countries. Additionally, Pelotonia had 3,144 Virtual Riders and 2,103 registered Volunteers. Pelotonia 12 raised $16.9 million, bringing Pelotonia's 4-year total to $42.2 million for cancer research.
The Pelotonia 13 experience will occur on AUGUST 9-11, 2013 with the ride spanning two days and covering as many as 180 miles. Because operational expenses are covered by Pelotonia funding partners, 100% of every dollar raised is donated directly to life-saving cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
I am writing to ask you to help me raise funds for this incredible event. Large or small, every donation makes a difference.
When you follow the link below, you will find my personal Rider profile and a simple and secure way to make any size donation you wish.
Think of this as a donation not to me, or Pelotonia, but directly to The OSUCCC-James to fund cancer research. Please consider supporting my effort and this great cause. My Rider profile can be found at the following link: http://www.mypelotonia.org/riders_profile.jsp?MemberID=254214
Thank you for the support!
Sincerely,
Alexandra Shipper
