As you probably already know, Joe has been fighting a very specialized form of gastrointestinal cancer since November 2005 and now, after 16 long months, he is finally cancer free.
As a way to give thanks, I've decide to walk the Saint James' Way (El Camino de Santiago), a 485 mile pilgrimage in Spain, to raise funds for gastrointestinal cancer research. I will begin my journey on May, 6th and I hope reach Santiago de Compostela around June, 8th.
I am trying to raise $50,000 for the Foundation for Applied Research in Gastrointestinal Oncology (FARGO), a non-profit organization that promotes research, education and patient care in gastrointestinal oncology worldwide. If you are interested to help this cause, we have set up a website that makes it simple and secure to donate directly to FARGO at http://www.firstgiving.com/dayseblack
Your donation is tax deductible and I hope that many people can be helped though your goodwill.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
