Dear Scott CARES,
Giving Tuesday is in one week! This year, I invite you to stand with me in supporting improved treatment options for cancer patients. As a cancer survivor, I understand firsthand the physical, emotional, and mental toll that traditional cancer treatments can take. Through the efforts of my CARES Foundation, I’m reaching out for your help in funding research into more effective treatment options for cancer patients.
My mother lost her battle with cancer when I was just 18 years old. She never had the opportunity to see me compete beyond national ice-skating competitions, or to witness my journey to the Olympics. If she were diagnosed today, her chances would be significantly better thanks to the advances in scientific research. While we've made progress over the past few decades, there is still more work to be done.
“People think CARES came out of my cancer journey, but it has always been about my mom. I took her love, selflessness, and determination with me into my everyday life on and off the ice, and I tried to do what she loved the most- pour into the community, serve the next generation, and make the world better. And that is what my CARES Foundation is, which is my effort to make the journey easier for the next person and make sure no teenager has to live without their mom.”
Thanks to you, CARES has funded 88 research projects, some year-over-year, that have led to promising discoveries. This Giving Tuesday, your donation will fund innovative cancer research that may save the life of someone you love.
Here’s how you can get involved:
-
Mark your calendar: Giving Tuesday is December 3, 2024!
-
Consider a gift: Every dollar helps us fund science to celebrate more cancer survivors.
-
Spread the word: Share with friends and family to amplify the movement and have them donate to CARES.
Together, we can provide hope for over 2 million new cancer patients diagnosed just this year.
Thank you for your continued support!
Onward and Upward,
