Dear {Insert Donor Name}
I’ve decided to take the challenge of riding {insert distance} in support of blood cancer
patients in Nova Scotia. Ride the Rails for Cancer, on September 19, will entwine work
and play while raising funds for a disease that touches so many in our region.
I’m writing to ask for your help! By making a {insert $$$ amount} donation or
providing sponsorship, you’ll help make a lasting difference in the lives of patients and
their families who are facing a blood cancer diagnosis. People like {insert personal
connection if applicable}
Did you know that one in 13 Canadians will be diagnosed with a blood cancer in their
lifetime? Ride the Rails for Cancer will help patients from the time of diagnosis through
to their return to health, relapse or palliation. This ride event will support leukemia and
lymphoma patients across Atlantic Canada by purchasing an apheresis machine for the
QEII’s Medical Day Unit – a crucial piece of equipment in blood cancer treatment – and
impacting both research and patient support programs, connecting patients to
community resources during their cancer journey.
If you’re interested in supporting my Ride the Rails for Cancer challenge, you can make
a donation at this link {insert fundraising URL} or via cheque, credit card or cash by
submitting the attached form back to me or mailing it directly to the QEII Foundation
office (ATTN: Ride the Rails 1276 South Park Street, Room 1-040 Halifax, NS B3H
2Y9). Tax receipts will be automatically emailed/mailed to you unless you are
requesting a sponsorship package.
I truly appreciate your support as I prepare to ride the rails for blood cancer treatment,
research and patient programs in Atlantic Canada.
Thank you for your consideration!
