We are going to have a lot of fun on Team ____ and we'll be making life better for kids in our community while we're doing it.

ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation is a local nonprofit that offers Assistance, Support, and Kindness for children with cancer. Their efforts are focused on the 359 children diagnosed with cancer each year in Virginia and the 500+ young survivors.

The children and their families need help dealing with the complex and stressful issues that come with cancer treatment, so ASK supports them by providing direct financial, emotional, and educational resources during this difficult time. ASK can only continue to help these families with our support through fundraising events like this race.

Here are the details:

Where: The Diamond, 3001 North Arthur Ashe Boulevard in Richmond

How: Registering to be part of my team is EASY. Go to www.ASKWalk.org and click on "Register" then select “Join a Team” and follow the directions.

The bigger we grow our team, the better. If we get big enough, we can have our own tent at the race, signs along the race course with our name on them, and recognition in the awards ceremony. I also really want to honor            and make life better for all the kids with cancer in our area, so I'm hoping that you'll accept my challenge as a team member to raise $_________.
