Dear Extra Chewy Readers,
An instructor at Capilano University is partaking in a two-day major cycling event in June 2010 called The Ride to Conquer Cancer. The raised funds will benefit the BC Cancer Foundation to support the leading research for new discoveries which will have a real impact in our communities.

We, as students are determined to help her raise raise over $2,500, all of which goes directly to the foundation. I humbly write you asking for your support her to reach this goal.

Mitra’s  lost her mother to breast cancer and had to watch her battle with this horrifying disease and finally losing her to cancer is the single-most difficult pain anyone have to endured, in her life or anyone’s.

While she  will be cycling with the memory of her mother in mind. This event is to help improve the chances of those currently affected by cancer. Statistics show that over 40% of Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime and in all, ¼ Canadians will die from cancer, so let’s beat this disease once and for all!

We respectfully ask you to donate within your means.
