Over $80,000 Raised for Lung Cancer Research!

Friends and Family,

The results are in, and our lung cancer research fundraiser was far more successful than I could have ever imagined. Including the matching donation from our anonymous donor, 158 people contributed. We raised $40,200!

And I can’t thank Sally Rudney’s family, who supported the Sally Rudney Memorial Fund. THEY HAVE MATCHED OUR ENTIRE DONATION, dollar-for-dollar. That means that together, we raised $80,400 for lung cancer research!

The amount puts the EGFR Resisters over the fundraising goal of $400,000, which is enough to fund two more research grants that benefit people with the EGFR mutation, like me.

You can still donate for the next round of funding projects, and your donation will be doubled until the Sally Rudney Memorial Fund has been successfully depleted. Here’s the link: https://fundraise.lungevity.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.personalCampaign&participantID=73342

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this amazing project. You are making a difference!

Love,

Dann

Update on Fundraising for Lung Cancer Research

Friends and Family,

I’m thrilled to tell you that my lung cancer research fundraiser has been a fantastic success so far. It’s been a week since we started fundraising and we are already over TWO-THIRDS the way to reaching my $10,000 Goal! Help push us over the top with your donation. Remember, whatever you donate will be QUADRUPLED!

This donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Also keep in mind that some employers will match your donation. Imagine that you would then be octupling (is there such a word?) your donation! If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.

Thank you so much to all who have contributed so far. You are helping move lung cancer research forward at a time when new advances are happening faster than even most doctors can keep up with.

Give to Lung Cancer Research and Your Donation will be Quadrupled!

Friends and Family,

I’m raising money for lung cancer research, and your donation has never had the opportunity to pack such a wallop. That’s because whatever you donate will be QUADRUPLED! For example, if you donate $100, then $400 will go to lung cancer research.

Here’s how it works. An anonymous donor has agreed to match any donations you and I raise together up to $10,000. When the donations are finalized and turned in to LUNGevity, the anonymous donor will double it, turning into $20,000. Then the Sally Rudney Memorial Fund will double THAT donation, turning it into $40,000!

The research is being sponsored by the EGFR Resisters in conjunction with LUNGevity, and the funds go through LUNGevity. The EGFR Resisters direct the research dollars to grants that have the potential for the most impact for people living with the EGFR lung cancer mutation, like me. This work could have a direct bearing on how long some of us live.

I know that good work is being done because I have been involved in one of the research grants. I reviewed clinical trial protocols and recommended changes, and I rewrote the informed consent document to make it was readable by a lay person. Patients direct what research will be done and how it will be carried out.

 I couldn’t be more excited by this opportunity. I hope you are as well. My goal is to reach $10,000 (before any matching funds) by my birthday, April 23rd. That gives us 30 days!

Thank you for anything you choose to contribute to this cause that is so near and dear to my heart.

Love,

Dann
