Dear Friends and Family:
Fighting to find a cure and raise awareness.
I am running my first marathon in Chicago representing the Jack H. Marston II Melanoma Fund. The charity is a fantastic force for good in both the Chicago area and the United States. My goal is to raise $1,750 for the charity, raise awareness for melanoma, and smile crossing the finish line. I am grateful for any and all support.
See you in Chicago!
- Gardner
About The Charity:
The Jack H. Marston II Melanoma Fund was founded in Glen Elyn, IL in 2004. Sine its inception, the charity has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars to fight and prevent melanoma. The fund spends around 85% of the money donated on financing research and raising cancer awareness. Their campaign to raise awareness through early detection has saved many lives as well.
Melanoma Facts:
- Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer related deaths.
- Melanoma is the second most common cancer for young adults ages 15-29.
- The risk of developing melanoma is increasing. In 1935, the disease struck just 1 in 1,500 people, but today melanoma affects 1 person in 50.
- The risk of being diagnosed with melanoma doubles with five or more sunburns at any age, and exposure to tanning beds in youth increases that risk by 75%!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
