During the month of January, I am participating in the annual Western New York Wellness Program “Spin with the Survivors” Virtual Spin Tour and Fundraiser , which focuses on enhancing visibility for the fight against cancer and improving quality of life for cancer survivors.

Centered on cycling, the Western New York Wellness Program makes available FREE indoor and outdoor cycling services to all cancer survivors in Rochester, NY and surrounding areas.

I am sending this email to ask you to help me in this fundraising event by considering a pledge. We all know someone touched by cancer.

The money that you pledge will contribute to funding the FREE physical activity programs offered by Western New York Wellness Program including:

• Weekly outdoor bike rides (during the summer)
• Weekly indoor spin classes (during the winter)
• Outreach and education programs
• Walking program for those just emerging from treatment and are not yet able to ride
• Gym membership grants

The “Spin with the Survivors“ event also provides a unique opportunity for all to help. This is our chance to help directly by positively affecting the lives of survivors and in keeping with that spirit, I’ve chosen to spin with the survivors.

To make an on-line pledge:
Step 1: Go to www.wnywp.org/spin_about.htm
Step 2: Select my name (Shannon Case) from the drop down list.
Step 3: Select a pledge amount.
Step 4: When ready to donate, click the “Submit Pledge” button.

I am a two time cancer survivor and have been in remission for 7 years now and the proud father of 3 ½ year old twins. The Western New York Wellness Program has helped me stay healthy and active these past 7 years.

Thank you for your support. Together, we will make a difference in so many lives!
