Team Koorbusch - American Red Cross

Friends and Family,

As many of you know, my father was diagnosed in March of 2015 with a rare aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Sezary Syndrome.  The average survival rate is 2-4 years from the time of diagnosis.  My Dad endured years of chemotherapy, including well over 100 blood transfusions, which are a necessary part of surviving chemo treatments.  This year we are celebrating 5 years of him being cancer free, and it is my mission to raise awareness of the importance of donating blood.

This is my 2nd year running on behalf of the American Red Cross, and my goal is to raise $7,500 before November - any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you all for supporting a great cause.

Team Red Cross brings together runners of all ages, background, and abilities in support of the American Red Cross while providing a rewarding charitable-giving experience. 

The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Your gift will directly support the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross.

Because of YOU, when a disaster strikes, the Red Cross is there to provide food, shelter, relief supplies, and hope to individuals displaced by a disaster.  At the same time, communities are receiving Red Cross training in First Aid, CPR, and disaster preparedness to help save lives.

When military recruits prepare to leave for military service, the Red Cross is there with them, explaining how we will support them and their families throughout their military career and beyond.

When the international community calls upon us, the American Red Cross is there alongside our Red Cross and Red Crescent societies to provide relief and hope around the globe.

And, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, we provide hospitals with lifesaving blood products from volunteer donors.

Thank you for generously supporting the American Red Cross!
