Mets Day 721 - Join Team Kbros

Please join with me in this year's Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) Walk for Bladder Cancer, on Saturday, May 3, on the National Mall in Washington DC.  I've set up a Team Kbros page to collect donations and register those who want to join the walk. I've set a goal to raise $2500 for BCAN in the next 30 days. Please click on this link to join my team, or just to make a donation. You can donate anonymously, if you want.

While I do not expect researchers to find a cure for bladder cancer soon enough to help my metastatic cancer, every step forward helps build a greater foundation of understanding.  Although bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the US (and fourth most common in men), it is near the bottom in the level of federal cancer funding.

Thank you for support!

(By the way, here's what I put on my team page):

I was diagnosed with bladder cancer on November 22, 2011. This walk will mark two years since my cancer metastasized. Currently there is no cure for metastatic bladder cancer.  I'm walking to support the research for a cure, and to celebrate the hope and joy of life.

This year, 73,000 people will be diagnosed with bladder cancer.  15,000 people will not survive their bladder cancer journey this year. 

Bladder cancer is the 5th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US.  It affects both men and women of all ages and races, although men are 4 times more likely to be diagnosed. Women, however, have higher mortality rates due to delayed diagnosis.

Through innovative programs such as the Bladder Cancer Think Tank - the only scientific symposium dedicated solely to bladder cancer, BCAN is helping to change these odds.

Walk with me or donate and help us beat these odds!

$25 gives 50 people educational materials to navigate their bladder cancer journey
$50 will help produce a webinar about bladder cancer research
$100 helps a Young Investigator attend BCAN's Think Tank

Thank you for stepping up and helping me change the lives of those impacted by bladder cancer.
