Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues,

Well, I hit the big “5-0″ four weeks ago and I’m feeling great because of you! I can’t thank you enough for joining me and helping to CRUSH KIDS CANCER. Together, we raised $7,870! That is just incredible, I am so touched and overwhelmed by your generosity.

And, I have a really inspiring story to leave you with about the second patient at Seattle Children’s that is now cancer free because of the treatment that your birthday gift helped support. From Hopeless to Cancer Free. Please take a few minutes and I guarantee you will feel proud.

Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to my virtual birthday party and helping me raise $7,500 for pediatric cancer research. It has been the best and most meaningful party ever, and you have truly touched me by your kindness and generosity to CRUSH KIDS CANCER. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will keep you updated from time to time about the latest news and advances happening at Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research. It will continue to inspire you and bring hope to all those you know and love that are touched by cancer.

With deepest appreciation,
Aileen

Hi Friends and Family,

I wanted you to know that so many of you have helped me completely surpass my original goal, giving me the ultimate birthday gift – the best ever! Thank you for your generosity and together we will CRUSH KIDS CANCER!

I got a call yesterday from a private foundation who has been watching our birthday party progress. They have offered a $50 match for the first 10 gifts of $50 made today – January 25! This is it! Last call! I won’t bug you anymore! Next time I ask will be my next 50th! 2064!

Have a wonderful day. You can bet I am thinking of you all today, deeply blessed by the amazing family, friends and colleagues in my life. Cheers to each and every one of you. Thank you for the gift of you in my life.

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for your support this past week. I have exceeded my $2,500 goal for pediatric cancer research and it isn’t even my birthday yet! I am completely overwhelmed by your generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks to your kindness and rapid response, I am increasing my goal because I have a donor that will give $50 for each person that donates $50+ up to 50 donors. So far 38 individuals (or couples) have given at this level which means 12 more gifts of $50+ are still “matchable” and I don’t want to leave any money on the table!

One final thing you can do for me is to take 5 minutes and watch the attached video. It tells the story – the amazing story of this pediatric cancer research going on right now. It is important to me that you know how very real this is, and how very real your donation brings us closer to a cure to help all kids battling cancer.

With heartfelt thanks for your generosity,

Aileen (almost 50).
