Marine Corps Marathon
My cousin Andy is running in the Marine Corps Marathon and could use your help. Any donation, however small, would be very welcome! Please consider throwing him some love.
This effort especially hits home for me since someone from my immediate family has Leukemia (in remission!) and I sorely miss Julian, a Marine Sgt. killed last year in Iraq.
Here is a description of what he’s running for, in his own words:
I am training to participate in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I’m completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! I am also running the Marine Corps Marathon in Honor of our brother, friend, son and fellow Marine Julian Arechaga of the 1st Battalion 6th Marines 2nd Marine Division whom we lost in Iraq October 9, 2006. I am raising money for this very important cause and I’m asking you to help by making a contribution! Please use the link in this email to donate online quickly & securely. You will receive email confirmation of your donation and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation. I thank you in advance for your support, and really appreciate your generosity!! My goal is to raise $3,500 By August 1st. http://www.active.com/donate/tntliny/andyrandazzo Please forward this email to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well! Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Andy Randazzo
