MCMF Challenge UPDATE: Thank You So Much! Let's Keep This Going

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all having the best July on record!

I want to thank you for the amazing support of our MCMF Challenge on CrowdRise... very cool! As shown in the sidebar, you've helped The Matt Cwiertny Memorial Foundation raise over $1400 so far - Awesome! Now, we're only $570 away from the $2000 mark.

The Challenge ends on July 15th. And for every $1000 raised on our MCMF Challenge page on CrowdRise, my husband, Eric, and I will donate $200 to the Be the Match Foundation through our "Gift the Gift of Life" project. We've already donated $200 to Be the Match for the first $1000 reached, so let's keep this going!

Only $570 to go until we reach $2000... who's going to help us get there? :D

Thank you so much for your incredible support! Let's help adolescents and young adults kick some EBV and EBV-associated diseases' butt.

Take Care,

Michele

Wanna Become a Superhero?

I'm on a mission to wipe out EBV and EBV-associated diseases, which include blood cancers. My brother-in-law, Matt Cwiertny, passed away on October 3, 2009 at the age of 24--way too young-- from an EBV-induced NK T-cell Lymphoma. My family and I want to make sure other families and patients do not have to endure the nightmare that is battling a blood disease and blood cancer... and we can do that by raising funds and helping to find a CURE. So that's the story. Help us raise funds for EBV and EBV-associated diseases by going to THE MATT CWIERTNY MEMORIAL website or to our Charity page on Crowdrise. Thank you so much for your support!
