| Running in memory of my dad, Papa D |
When you make a
donation to The
Gathering Place, below is just a small list of what your money
helps provide:
$25 covers the cost
of art therapy supplies for one adult or child
$50 covers the cost
of one new wig for a woman with cancer
$100 covers the cost
of one session of nutrition counseling
$250 covers the cost
of one group exercise class
$500 covers the cost
of a four week support group
$1,000 covers the
cost of 3 months' supplies for our children's program
Unlike some other
organizations that require you to raise a certain amount of money to
participate in their event, The
Gathering Place does not. The goal I have set is strictly a goal I would
personally like to reach and The
Gathering Place is grateful for any amount it receives. And unlike a
certain breast cancer organization "giant" that has forgotten what
charity is all about by using
the money YOU donate to it by sicking its team of lawyers on any charity
event/organization that chooses to use "For a/the Cure" in it's name,
the money you donate to The Gathering
Place goes directly to help support individuals and their family as they
navigate their cancer journey.
Thank you to
everyone who had helped my fundraising efforts so far for this years Race for the Place 5K. I would also like to
thank whomever the anonymous donor with your generous donation as well. Because
of your support, I am now less than $500 from reaching my goal of $1,230, a
number I chose to honor the home going of Papa D at 1:23 pm.
The race is Sunday but there is still time
to join my team or make a donation. Visit my personal race page for more
