hey friends! As you might know I’ve been nominated to be the Man of the Year for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Silicon Valley / Monterey Bay chapter for 2011. Tomorrow night be the grand finale where the winner will be announced and need your support to get me there. So far my campaign team has raised $15,000 and surpassed our original goal of $10K but now we are surging towards $20,000! The winner will be determined by the most amount of funds raised within a 10 week period which started in mid-March. As you know the funds are crucial towards researchers finding a cure and patient services such as peer support groups, financial aid, and educational seminars. You can help in one or all of the below ways- Donate online at http://svmb.mwoy.llsevent.org/10kin10weeks and check if your company matches! Deadline is by Saturday May 21st (tomorrow!) at noon! I’ll be at kickoff tomorrow morning at the Santa Marriott starting at 10am pacific so if you want to give me a check in-person.
