Ross, Taylor and Kym Martin are Celebrating!
Friends, Family and Colleagues –
We celebrate many milestones in life – birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations. It's in our nature to want to mark the most significant milestones with some sort of tribute, be it a party, a gift or some special memorial. This June, I will celebrate my 25th year as a Cancer Survivor.
Anyone who has been touched by cancer knows that reaching such a milestone is an extremely uncommon event. I am profoundly aware of my good fortune in reaching this mark and know that many affected by cancer's relentlessness will not be so fortunate. My life could have been cruelly cut short were it not for the excellent care I received after I was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma the month following my 17th birthday. But my battle is not over – nor is it over for the millions of people affected by cancer each year.
This is why I have decided to have a celebration we can all share by making it a part of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life® on May 3rd and 4th in Damascus, Maryland. My admittedly audacious goal is to raise $25,000 – that's $1000 for each priceless year I've enjoyed since my diagnosis.
The major theme of each Relay for Life throughout the world is HOPE. Hope for a future free from the scourge of cancer. Hope for the families who have lost loved ones. Hope for another year of life for those battling cancer. My hope is that through my passionate and diligent quest to learn all I can about nutrition and fitness I can continue to optimize my health and the health of those I am blessed to counsel.
So please join me in celebrating the Hope this 25-year milestone represents by helping my team, the Cancer Connection, to achieve this goal. Whatever the gift, be it $2.50 or $250, I will be grateful for your help in raising $25,000. Click here to safely donate or register to join us through my page on the ACS Relay for Life website. You may be able to double your donation if your or your spouse's employer offers company match of charitable contributions. Thank you for checking to be sure as every dollar makes a difference.
While visiting my page, you will also find details on ordering Luminaria to honor and remember your loved ones (as shown in the picture above) and more information on two wonderful Survivor Celebrations available for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
In addition to raising $25,000, my team needs to ensure that we have at least one team member walking or running around the track from 2:00 pm on May 3rd through 6:30 am on May 4th. Please take a moment to register and come walk or run with us. If you're up for the adventure, Ross, Taylor and I are camping out under the stars and would love for you and your family to join us!
Many thanks and best of health,
