Well family and friends, another year has gone by. As the weather warms, my team will begin training for the 54th ACS Philadelphia Bike-A-Thon. My team will be joining 1500 other riders who, last year, raised almost $1.3 million dollars for cancer research and treatment.This will be our 8th time riding to raise money for this worthy cause.

Unfortunately,I have had to change the name of our team to include two more friends who succumbed to cancer in the past year,Gail and Daniel. I truly hope that I never have to change the team name again.

I want to say that I truly appreciate the support that you have shown over the past 8 years.I realize that these may be difficult financial times for some of us, so there is no pressure to support this cause if you feel that you are unable to. Any support will be greatly appreciated.

Stay well and thank you,

Joel

By standing with the American Cancer Society, I stand with the 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. today—and with those who may one day hear the words, “You have cancer.” That’s why I’d be so grateful for your support. Please donate to my efforts, and together, we can help end cancer as we know it—for everyone.
