Default A worthy Cause...

Hi guys,

Mel and I just got back from Vegas and arrived to some devastating news. One of our close friends just found out she has breast cancer. She is only 33 years old and she discovered the tumor because she was having trouble breast feeding her newborn.

At a time like this we can't help but feel helpless... Words don't seem to be enough. Melody has decided that she will be participating in this year's walk/run for breast cancer to help raise some money for research. I know there are a lot of worthwhile causes out there, but this one hits close to home. Please consider making a donation...

You can make a donation using your credit card directly by clicking on the link below. This sends the money directly to the Canadian Cancer Society and eliminates the need for paypal. Keep in mind that you will recieve a tax receipt through email almost as soon as you donate.

Donate to Melody's Run for the Cure

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider the request...

Sean and Melody

Yes, a worthy cause. Just bumped a tad towards Mel's goal. Hope your friend get well soon. And a free bump for a worthy cause.

Thanks for your generosity! We just posted this today, and already the S2000 community has come through. The cause is a great one, as it is a fight for our mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.

Thanks Cong! Your generous support is very appreciated. I can not believe how generous the S2KI community is. In just over two days, Melody is up to over $600 in sponsorship, with most of that coming from members of the S2KI community. This response is far beyond our wildest expectations...

Thanks for the support. We spoke to her today and she could not believe how much we have raised. She is lucky that she was pregnant, as it allowed the doctors to discover the tumor early. Breast cancer in younger women can be quite aggressive, but we are hoping that the early discovery will lead to a good prognosis. All of your support is appreciated.
