Support David's battle and Kill Cancer With Kindness!
Our friend David Churchill is fighting cancer. And it’s freaking expensive.
We are raising funds for David's treatments and have set a starting goal of $2500. Our hope is to raise more than this and to give David as much as we possibly can.
Though cancer has invaded, with your help Churchill can have the best chance for victory and carry on with that vim and vigour we all love.
Donate whatever you can. Any amount is appreciated. We've added some imaginary perks to make it easy for you to select a funding level.
******************************************************************************************************************
To celebrate reaching our goal, we’re having a cabaret of music, poetry, performance and laughter! Join David and all of his supporters for some entertainment and morale boosting! Please note that we are NOT selling tickets to the cabaret. If you would like to attend the event, simply RSVP to FriendsofDavidChurchill@gmail.com. Space is limited so RSVP as soon as possible.
