The LIVESTRONG Challenge Philadelphia is right around the corner (August 23, 2009.) Please remember to recruit your friends and family to join you on Team Down One. We need their help to reach our fundraising goal $30,000. Also do not forget to fundraise. This year has been difficult with the economy and people losing their jobs however we all know cancer will not stop so we should ask around. Even during down times people will surprise you. Do not be afraid to ask! Any amount is a good amount. Have them visit http://teamdownone.com to sign up for the team or donate!
Please remember the LIVESTRONG Challenge is held at Montgomery County Community College 340 DeKalb Pike, Blue Bell, PA 19422.
