Hi Friends & Family, 

I've started this campaign to help raise money to support the GIST Cancer research walk for a cure. As many of you know, my mom was diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumor cancer (GIST) and has been fortunate and blessed to still be stable today. This is much in part due to the amazing treatment she is getting from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston as well as all of the support and love from her family and friends. For those of you who do not know about GIST, it is a rare form of cancer of the GI tract that just started gaining more visibility in recent years. The doctors at Dana Farber & Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (amongst others) are intent on learning more about the causes, the treatments and hopefully one day the cure for this rare disease; however, they need the funding and the support to continue in these endeavors. I'm reaching out to all of you to ask for your donations to sponsor my mom in her walk to raise money to find a cure for GIST. 

I've set a goal of $750 which will go directly to the GIST Cancer Research fund. 

More information about the walk can be found here:

Thank you for your support - not only in these sponsorship efforts - but all of your thoughts, prayers and well wishes for me and my family! I believe that we are getting closer to the cure and in the interim we can support the doctors who are discovering new drugs every day that will keep GIST'ers stable for years to come.
