Tomorrow… Your Challenge Begins

Hi Everyone,

In less than 12 hours I head into the operating room for a nice little nap while my surgical team prepares for their end of this battle. At that moment, I get to to take my first vacation from this challenge and rest (until the fun times of the recovery room begin.) That moment is where I am asking you to begin…. I know so many of you have been fighting alongside me 
with your prayers, positive energy and support… Hence, why I so fittingly dubbed you “My Army.” You all are where I derive my strength, and ultimately the reason why I will beat this challenge. Unfortunately, there are thousands of others just like me out there who are not as lucky to have the amazing support system I do. I have constantly told people that I amnot unlucky to be handed this challenge, rather I am fortunate to be given it at such a young age. Not only does it give me the strength to fight it, but it gives me the “shock and awe” value to bring awareness to the community around me,  gain support from those affected by my challenge, and the vocal platform to rally the troops. Well, rallying is exactly what I have in mind for you, and I ask for all of you to “Get Your Rear in Gear,” in some way or another.

At this very moment “My Army” has already raised a mind blowing $22,607.84, with 113 individuals signed up for the walk. That is without many of you knowing how to promote, share or email your individual fund raising page. My challenge to you: let’s get that number to $50,000. I am going to give you the tools to do it. Not because of the glitz and glam of money, because of the thousands of others like me who are unfortunate to have the support system that they so righteously deserve. Because we can create awareness to prevent your loved ones from having to battle this dreadful disease. Because we can find a cure so we can finally stomp on the throat of this monster and yell out “You will not hurt anyone anymore!”

Orders as Follows:

  1. Share My Blog and Website with your friends, family, colleagues, strangers, whoever. That means if you are reading this through Facebook, repost it to your wall.
  2. If you are able to make it to the Boston Area on November 12, 2011 “Sign Up” for the walk here. (for those that sign up move onto step 4.
  3. If you are unable to make it to the walk, Support a member of my army by clicking on a participants name in this list and making a donation. (Thank you)
  4. After signing up for the walk, you will receive an email with a link to your “participant center.” On that page you can edit your personal promotion page to your liking and set a fundraising goal. My buddy Steve and his family have a great example here. (Love you buddy)
  5. Once you edit your personal page either post the URL or link to it on your Facebook (or other social network) or use the built in email platform to tell your friends.
  6. Keep Sharing and promoting it until you reach your goal! No matter how annoying you think you are being, Cancer is always more annoying.
  7. Enjoy the beautiful walk around Castle Island on November 12th!
  8. After the walk, we will be having a lil shindig for all of my “Army” members participating. Plus you will get some cool free “Beat The Challenge” hats.
Thank you everyone for the support thus far, I could never put into words how much it means to me. All I can do is continue to fight, continue to write, and hopefully someday it will help someone else like me “Beat the Challenge.”

Much Love – Teej
