How will you be celebrating Valentine’s Day this year?
Cards, letters, flowers, candy or gifts to your significant
other? Wining and dining with a romantic dinner? Ooh là là.
Sherrie Sherrie? I will be running in Cleveland’s Cupid’s
Undie Run.
That’s right, a mile run in the freezing Antarctica (aka Cleveland streets) in my skivvies, or some variation thereof, to raise funds and awareness for the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF.org). I can trudge through a little snow and some frigid air nearly nekked to help those going through immense suffering on a daily basis.
The Children's Tumor Foundation funds clinical trials to find treatments and a cure for neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow throughout the nervous system at a rampant pace and causing deafness, blindness, paralysis, learning disabilities, cancer and debilitating pain.
My friend, coworker and our FEARLESS team leader, Mike Silvestro, knows first hand of how truly dreadful this disease can be as he’s suffered from it since he was a teen.
Can you help out team “BEAT NF?”
My personal fundraising goal is $500. Dan Gilbert, whose son Nick suffers from NF, is personally matching all funds raised for those Cleveland runners who reach at least $500.
Whether the gift is $5 or $500, all donations are tax-deductible and will have great impact on those in need!
I greatly appreciate any and all assistance in this fundraising endeavor, and more importantly it would mean the world to the 2 million worldwide who battle NF on a daily basis!
