This is a benefit ride for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. As
America's leading childhood cancer research center, founded by the
late entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude Hospital has provided care
and treatment to all its patients without regard for the family's ability
to pay. Thanks to St. Jude Hospital, children who have leukemia,
Hodgkin's disease, sickle-cell anemia, Pediatric AIDS and other
child-killing disease now have a better chance to live.
At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working side-by-side
seeking not only a better means of treatment, but also the causes,
cures, and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings are
shared with doctors around the world to ensure that children
everywhere will benefit from the work being done at St. Jude
Hospital. Funds to support this battle against childhood catastrophic
disease come primarily from public donations through events like the
Saddle Up for St. Jude.
If you are interested in making a contribution to this worthwhile
cause, or if you have any questions, please email me at:
murgnme@pacific.net.
You can make a donation of cents/mile or a flat donation. The trail
ride is 10 miles. I originally had about 10 of our local Junior
Horseman group planning to do the ride, but at the last minute
they all cancelled for various reasons. This left me
with only 3 riders!! Which is why I am asking you for your support!
The ride is scheduled for this Saturday, May 4.
Thank you,
Leslie
