Actually, there is something we can do about Cancer.


We've all been touched by the horrors of Cancer. Some harder than others. Some more recently. Some more personally. And if you're like me, you can feel helpless. You're not.


I am participating in "Americas Most Beautiful Ride." a 100-mile cycling challenge around Lake Tahoe to beat cancer. This year we will raise more than $8.5 million to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life for patients and families. Please help.


I'll do the riding. Which I admit I love. But I need your support to reach my personal goal of $5,000.


Here's how you can help:


Become one of my $1,000 Titanium Sponsors - your name or your company's will be on all future correspondence along with the picture of the person you want to honor, and I'll personally bring you back a custom race shirt. Thank you to Plan Your Legacy for being our first Titanium Sponsor!


Become one of two $500 Platinum Sponsors - your name or your company's will be on all future correspondence and I'll bring you a custom race shirt.


Become one of four $250 Gold Sponsors - your name or your company's will be on all future correspondence and you'll receive a Lake Tahoe poster to commemorate your support. Thank you to Pusateri Consulting and Pete Ryckaert at Stratmosphere for being our first two Gold sponsors!


Become an individual sponsor at the $100, $50 or $25 level and help find a cure for Cancer.


I will be cycling in honor of local Rochester resident, Tony DiGaetano. In July of 2003, Tony was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, had a stem cell transplant and is still undergoing treatment. Interestingly, one of his recent life-saving treatments was possible because of LLS financial support. Tony, an avid cyclist himself, is married and has 3 grown children. He also enjoys golfing (although it is difficult for him to play at the present time) and playing his bass guitar.


Knowing that I am supporting the future of good people like Tony is a huge motivating factor for me. Hopefully it is also huge motivator for you to make a financial contribution to LSS.
