Palo Alto, February 16, 2002 Dear Friends, Family and Business Associates, I am writing to you because you have been a part of my life, and I would like you to take part in my latest and greatest endeavor that is taking me back to Anchorage, Alaska where on June 22 of this year, I will run the Anchorage Marathon! I made this decision not only to challenge myself to train and compete in my first marathon, but more importantly to raise money for a very important cause that helps people much less fortunate than you and I. I have joined Team in Training (TNT), a non-profit organization that by providing coaching and support prepares people to meet their goals of completing endurance events. In return, I commit to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. Of the funds I will raise with your help, over 75% will go directly towards research, patient services, professional education and community service. My goal is to raise $5,000. That's where you come in. It is really easy for you to help. You do not have to run six times a week and complete 400 miles before June 22. All you have to do is complete the Sponsorship Form found attached to this message and send it to me before March 15/02. If you would like me to send the attached letter with a self address stamped envelope, please reply to this e-mail with your physical address. If you would like to use PayPal as an option please let me know. If you can't open the attached word document, please let me know so that I can send a simple text or PDF file. It will be extremely helpful if you can reply to this message with your intention to contribute before March 15/02. I want to thank you in advance for your support to this very noble cause and I take this opportunity to remind you that a healthy life is a very precious gift. Affectionately, David Bigio |
