I'm Quitting for a Cure for Cancer
Creator   Vicky Kvisle
Close at  Sunday, 30 May 2010
Dear Friends,

For the months of April and May I'm quitting alcohol, biscuits, chocolates, lollies, sweets, and all caffeine!  Yes, that includes all tea and coffee too!!

It was tough during Easter and thru my birthday weekend, but the kids have dared me to extend it another month and for their sponsorship I have agreed!

The hardest thing has been missing my coffee latte's and the withdrawals have left me craving them even more....can't wait for June 1st !!! 

I'm doing this to raise funds for a cause which you all know is very close to my heart, Cure Cancer Australia Foundation.

I would encourage you to donate what you would normally spend when going out for coffee and sweets, every little bit helps!

To put it in perspective for you, $50 will fund an hour of vital Cancer research in the lab.

Please help me to Quit and raise money for Cure Cancer Australia.

This challenge is a significant one and by sponsoring me you will help make a big difference to the lives of all people with cancer, and the one in two families now impacted by cancer. 

Your donation will encourange me to keep to my Quit, and we will all know that we are helping people less fortunate than ourselves. 

It gives me great hope to raise funds for Cure Cancer Australia so that they can fund the brightest Australian cancer researchers, to support their mission of erradicating cancer.

    Cure Cancer Australia Foundation
CURE CANCER AUSTRALIA'S focus is to find a cure for cancer. 

One in two families are touched by cancer in their lifetime and Cure Cancer Australia is determined to improve prevention, detection and treatment outcomes to reduce the suffering caused by cancer. 

In 2012, Cure Cancer Australia will provide 30 one year grants of $100,000 each to the best young researchers in our country with fresh approaches across all areas of cancer research.  

$50 funds one hour, $1,900 funds one week, $7,500 funds one month and $100,000 funds one year of vital cancer research. 

 
Untold thousands of lives have already been saved as a result of research. However, one life lost to cancer is still one too many. Cure Cancer Australia will not give up on the fight until we can realise 'a world without cancer, nothing less. ' We simply couldn't continue our work without the support of people like you.

Thank you for your support!
