Dear family and friends,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On Sunday, October 27, 2019, I will be participating in Exeter Hospital's United in Wellness Cancer Walk & Trick or Treat Trot 5K as the community comes together to help support cancer treatment programs and services at Exeter Hospital's Center for Cancer Care.

Cancer is a disease that has unfortunately impacted the lives of many. In fact, most of us know someone who has heard the devastating words, “You have cancer." As cancer has touched the lives of too many friends and loved ones, I have made the commitment to raise funds to make a difference locally in the lives of those battling this disease.

Please consider making a donation to support our local community and those who may be facing their greatest challenge: a cancer diagnosis. Your donation will assist in further strengthening and supporting critical cancer treatment programs and services for patients at Exeter Hospital’s Center for Cancer Care, supporting the commitment to provide exceptional cancer care close to home. In making a donation, your generous support will assist Exeter Hospital in continuing to purchase the latest equipment and technology, implement innovative treatment options and therapies, and provide comprehensive patient support services to those undergoing cancer treatment at The Center for Cancer Care at Exeter Hospital.

I hope you will consider making a donation.  Every dollar, no matter the amount, makes an impact!

Our combined efforts will make a world of difference to those within our community who may be facing their greatest challenge:  a cancer diagnosis.

Thank you for your support!

P.S.  I welcome any of my family and friends to join me in running or walking as our community comes together for this event. You can learn more at unitedinwellness.org/trickortreattrot.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE AN IMPACT IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY:

Whether through providing assistance with daily living expenses, such as rent, fuel, groceries or gas, or providing wellness and integrative therapies, such as massage therapy, with the support of our donors, this fund has made a direct impact on the lives of many patients.

Every donation, no matter the amount, makes an impact!
