To all my friends,

I’ll be participating in a two-day major cycling event called The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation.

I’ll be cycling through the scenic Pacific Northwest with thousands of other Riders. All the proceeds will go to BC Cancer Foundation to support cancer research, treatment, and services. BC Cancer Foundation is a leading comprehensive institution devoted to cancer research and care, and the work they’re doing is cutting-edge. Even if you do not live in British Columbia, you will benefit from research that is funded through this ride.

I’ve agreed to raise at least $2,500. So here’s where you come in, because I need your help to do that. Could you please consider making a donation of $25? Use the link at the bottom of this email to go visit my webpage, and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind the commitment I’m making to end this heartbreaking disease and the personal efforts I’ll have to make to accomplish this.

When I say “heartbreaking,” here’s what I mean: according to the Canadian Cancer Statistics, 171,000 new cases of cancer and 75,300 deaths from cancer occurred in 2009. The information also shows that over 45% of men and 40% of women will develop cancer in their lifetime and 1 in all 4 Canadians will die of cancer. That’s why I’m riding. To do something BIG about cancer. I hope that you’ll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Sincerely, Darryl MacKenzie  mackenzd99@gmail.com.
