Rock ‘n Roll, Peachtree 10K, to help all with VHL
by Shawn M., Philadelphia
Shawn and Kimberly |
My training buddies and I are running to raise awareness and money for the VHL Alliance-Cancer Research Fund. Doug and I have signed up for the Rock’n’Roll 1/2 marathon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Gary is running the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta, Georgia. Together, we hope that we can help others with VHL.
I am running in memory of my Dad who passed away from VHL in 1980 and in honor of my brother, Brian, who also has VHL and all those who are affected by VHL. Brian has had over 30 brain surgeries and has been on a vent for the last 5 1/2 years. I also have had several other relatives pass away from VHL. For everyone with VHL, we need to find a cure!
I realize that these are tough economic times but every little bit adds up. Donating through the Firstgiving site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.

If you would rather donate by check that is okay too. Simply make your check payable to the VHL Alliance-Cancer Research Fund and mail it to 2001 Beacon Street, Suite 208, Boston, MA 02135. Be sure to say it is in honor of Shawn’s run.
Either way your tax deductible donation goes directly to the VHL Alliance-Cancer Research Fund which is dedicated to improving diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for individuals and families affected with VHL.
Many thanks for your support! You can also find me on Facebook if you want to cheer me on! Together, we will make a difference.
Shawn, Doug and Gary
