I have been fundraising work today for my friend Steve who is riding in the upcoming Ride to Conquer Cancer. This is an issue that is very important to me right now as I have just lost one of my golfing buddies to cancer and have another one who has just recently been diagnosed with serious cancer. As you will read in Steve's intro it is also of utmost importance to Steve. Hope you can help.
Steve Williams Ride to Conquer Cancer intro letter:
In June 2009 I'll be participating in a 2-day major cycling event called The Ride to Conquer Cancer,
benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation, one of the top 5 cancer research hospitals in the world.
I'll be cycling over 200 kilometres that weekend, with thousands of other Riders. All the proceeds
will go to the Alberta Cancer Foundation to support cancer research, treatment, and services. the
Alberta Cancer Foundation is a leading comprehensive institution devoted to cancer research and
care, and the work they're doing is cutting-edge.
I've agreed to raise at least $2,500, but my personal goal is higher still. So here's where you
come in, because I need your help to do that. I am asking that you please consider making a
donation to help this cause. Use the link below to viisit my webpage, and please take the time to
support me. Please keep in mind the commitment the riders are making to end this heartbreaking
disease and the personal efforts to accomplish this.

When I say "heartbreaking," here's what I mean: according to the National Cancer Institute of
Canada, over 153,100 new cases of cancer and 70,400 deaths from cancer were estimated to occur in
2006. Men outnumber women for new cases by 5% and mortality by 11%. That's why I'm riding. To do
something BIG about cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me by
supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Should you have any questions or require assistance with the donation process don't hesitate to
contact me for help. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Steve Williams
