Re: OFF topic. Fund raiser

You are a brave man, Mr. Bosi. Sticking your neck out to raise 5 grand is
gutsy! Good luck to you and your efforts. My "widow's mite" is in. -bw

Dear Friends,



I'm shaving my head. Yes, I did say shave my head! I have recently
registered to go under the clippers during a St. Baldrick's Foundation
event to raise funds for childhood cancer research.



Since its inception in 2000, St. Baldrick's has raised more than $20
million and grown into the world's largest fundraising event for
childhood cancer. Worldwide 160,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer
each year and despite tremendous progress, cancer remains the #1
disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada.

St. Baldrick's research grants help fill crucial funding gaps at
medical institutions where children are treated for cancer, ensuring
the finest care for every child. In 2006, the St. Baldrick's
Foundation granted over $4 million to a network of 230 institutions
who work together to develop the most advanced treatment techniques.
The foundation also granted more than $1 million to other hospitals
for research fellowships and projects to cure childhood cancer.

While battling cancer, children lose not only their hair but years of
their childhood, and sometimes their lives. In comparison to their
struggle, shaving my head is a small sacrifice, and the money raised
will make a difference for children with cancer now and in the
future.

So, I am asking you to help me raise as much money as I can for the
foundation - both to justify this crazy decision, and to fund as much
research as possible! No amount is too big or too small - every gift
will be appreciated. Please help me reach my goal of ($5,000.00) by
(03/16/2007).
