Dear Friends and Supporters,
SickKids Foundation is extremely pleased to recommend an exciting opportunity to support The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) through Race Across America (RAAM) for SickKids. RAAM is an ultra marathon bicycle race across the USA and is arguably the best known and longest endurance cycling event in the world. This year, beginning on June 11th, a Canadian team of eight cyclists are taking on this challenge and raising money for SickKids. The team’s goal is to raise $100,000.
The Race Across America for SickKids will support pain management at The Hospital for Sick Children. Unfortunately, pain is one of the many challenges facing most of the young patients treated at SickKids. Pain is an invisible, subjective symptom. The funds raised will be used for research into better understanding pain and to provide practical solutions to alleviating pain in children.
In order to ensure success, Race Across America for SickKids requires support from companies, organizations, and individuals who share their vision and hope for improved child health. It is my hope that you will consider supporting this event. Your commitment will not only ensure that this event is a fundraising success, it will also make a real difference in the lives of children today and for generations to come.
Thank you for your generosity, and for supporting SickKids’ vision: Healthier children. A better world.
