My wife has joined the 2007 Relay for Life. Can you please help?

Guys/Gals,

I'd like you to please help my wife.
Her mom died 7 years ago of cancer. Yesterday would have been
her 60th birthday.

To honor her memory my wife, Monica is rasing money for the American Cancer Society through an event called Relay for Life.
At Relay for Life cancer survivors meet with family and friends of
victims of the desease. It's an event to remember and honor those who
are no longer and to encourage and support those who have survived.

I sent a private e-mail to some of you already and the response has
been overwhelming. As it stands Monica is the leading the fund
raising effort for this event. It's really nice to know that we're
backed by such an extraordinary group of people. Monica has raised the bar to $6000 to help her team meet their goal. We believe this is a good cause and I would not be asking for your help to help otherwise.

Here's a link to a web page where Monica explains what this means to
her and what you can do to help.

http://www.acsevents.org/relay/ca/stockton/pupi

There are two types of donations regular and Luminaria. Luminarias
are glowing bags that on first glance appear to be nothing more than
paper sacks filled with sand and candles. But upon closer
examination, these bags represent people, each with a name and a
story to tell. You can set the Luminaria on behalf of Monica's mom or
a friend or loved one who has gone through this ordeal.



The girl with the red dress is my wife, her mom is holding her in her arms.

Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation

Alvaro

It was a pleasure to help my cruiser family in their non-Cruiser activities. At least that is how I feel, I feel blessed to have all of these wonderful friends who share my passion for a well built vehicle. When is the deadline? I might be able to contribute some more if some folks pay me for parts.

Eric,

The event is on June 9th. So we have about 40 days left.
We're just $25 short of $2000. Almost 1/3 of the way.

Regards

Alvaro

Message from my wife:

"Dear friends and colleagues,

I only have 2 days of fundraising left and $2,370.00 to go!

I promise this is my last request for donations since I am just hours away from getting on that track and walking my legs off to make sure you get your money's worth!!!

So, here's the deal: The website accepts a minimum donation of $10.00 and I will be extremely grateful if you donate just that amount; no need to invest more than 1000 pennies to see Monica walk on that track!

Please click on the magic link below, it will take you directly to my website:
http://www.acsevents.org/relay/ca/stockton/pupi

Thanks in advance for your support,
Monica"

Alvaro
