Why are we doing this?

Climb to Conquer Cancer 2008

March 8, 2008 will be Team Giant's 5th year participating in the Climb

Come join us! 

Join our team or donate to our team!

The $40,000 Challenge - COMPLETED!

Are you up for the challenge? 

A very generous donor has offered to match all of the funds that we, as Team Giant, raise to fight cancer up to $20,000. Maybe you need to count those zeros again. Yep. That's right. $20,000. What that means is that we ALL need to step up and raise some funds! This challenge includes both of our current endeavors: Climb to Conquer cancer, and the Marathon Challenge. Either way you look at it, that is a lot of money to fight cancer and help those affected by the disease. If we can raise $20,000 we will be matched, bringing our total earnings to $40,000!! Can you even imagine it? Well, start to, because we are on our way!

Do you think we can do it? We won't know unless we try! Let's get to it!
 

There are several ways that you can help:

1. Join Team Giant as we Climb to Conquer Cancer on March 10th with the American Cancer Society or make a donation to help the team.

2. Donate to our marathon challenge and help Crystal and me to raise $7,200 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  You may also mail a check (payable to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) to me.

3. Pass this message along. Let your friends and family know how they can help Team Giant meet the $40,000 challenge.

4. Send me your ideas. Maybe you can't help financially, but you know another way to reach our goal. Do you have an item to donate that we can raffle off? Do you or someone you know own a restaurant that will let us have a fundraising party?

I hope that you all are half as excited as I am to do our part in fighting cancer. Did you know that cancer deaths are on the decline? The only way to keep that number down is to continue to offer our support.
