Earlier this year I learned about one of Alex's 4th grade classmates who is courageously battling brain cancer (http://humantribeproject.com/tribes/kallie). Kallie was diagnosed with brain cancer in September of 2010. Part of her cancerous tumor was removed that same month, and she began chemotherapy treatment in October. She has experienced many complications and setbacks along the way including septic shock and a leg amputation, but Kallie is still fighting!!! She continues to surprise and amaze her doctors and family with her incredible will to survive.
I have been so touched and inspired by this amazing little girl that I am setting out to tackle my first ever triathlon in support of Kallie and her fight against cancer. I ask that you please consider making a meaningful donation to my cause to help Kallie and her family with her ongoing medical care. I've set up a PayPal account just for this cause, so all you have to do is send your donation to the following email: TRIforKallie@gmail.com 100% of your donations will go straight to Kallie - I'm even going to cover any fees that PayPal imposes for the transactions, so you can rest assured that ALL of your donation is going to go to Kallie and her family.
Thank you for taking this bold step today for Kallie and her fight against cancer! Stay tuned for more updates about my TRI training, too. ;)
