Priscilya Hawkes Is Running the ING NYC Marathon on November 1, 2009.

Dear Friends,

Get Set. Ready. Go!

When the starter's gun goes off in New York City on November 1, 2009, look for me to take off running. I will be running in the ING New York City Marathon for Fred's Team in support of the pioneering research efforts at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. My commitment to Fred's Team is to raise a minimum $3,000.00 in contributions. I am writing to ask for your help in meeting this goal.

The Aubrey Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research began in 1997. Since its inception, Fred's Team raised over $35 Million and is the primary source of support for this research. Its name, 'The Aubrey Fund' comes from a woman by the name of Aubrey Barr, who was treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as a child and was completely cured. Aubrey is a dedicated member of Fred's Team and runs several marathons a year. The Aubrey Fund research wants to put an end cancer, and with your help, we can do it - one mile at a time.

The personal satisfaction of finishing the race - which is 26.2 miles, coupled with the opportunity to help advance the efforts of such a worthy cause is a goal that is dear to my heart. Many of us have been touched by the effects of cancer. I personally lost my grandfather and two close family friends to cancer. So this is an undertaking that is most rewarding. I greatly appreciate your support in helping me fulfill both of these goals.
