Hi Everyone,
You're getting this because you're in my email contact list. I'm hoping you won't think of this email as "spam"... It's a cause that is so close to my heart, so I want to spread the word as much as possible.
This year I'm doing something big in memory of my friend, Craig Dunham. I plan to become the top fundraiser for The ALS Association’s Walk to Defeat ALS®. My goal is to raise over $12,000, and that's a lot of moola, so I'll need your help!
Craig always lived life to the fullest, even when he could no longer move or speak. It's only fitting that his initials match that of the saying, Carpe Diem. I know if he were still alive he would be jumping wheelies in his wheelchair, probably creating some new Olympic sport to help me raise money. I wish I could think of some cool, nifty trick that I could do myself that would help me make this message go viral, but all I can think of right now is just to ask for your help. One thing I might do is send an eBook to everyone with inspirational stories about Craig and how he lived life fully, in spite of this disease. Do you have an inspirational story? Let me know!
Please help me keep Craig's spirit alive by:
1) Spreading the word! Please pass this email on and spread to your social networks!
2) Join team Carpe Diem and if you live in the Denver area, come walk with me on Sept. 13.
3) Donate! (Anything helps.) And please check for matching funds from your company!
4) Reply and just let me know stories of people in your life who you've been inspired by.
5) Make every minute count... Carpe Diem!
Note: I'm especially grateful and touched by those donations or replies from people who I don't know (yet). I realize that many would be irritated by what they might consider "spam." However, I would love to meet other like-minded people who want to make the world a better place, so even if you can't donate, please reply and let's get to know each other.
Sincerely,
Yvette Francino
