By joining the American Stroke Association's (part of the American Heart Association) Train To End Stroke program, I have a coach, a team to run with, training schedules and clinic and a reason that makes this more than a personal goal. I am helping to raise funds for stroke research, education and advocacy programs.

Over the course of the next 5 months, I will be running hundreds of miles to prepare. I will also be busy raising over $4,800 for the American Stroke Association. I am writing to ask for your support in this effort through your good thoughts and through your generous contribution to the American Stroke Association.

I am excited about running this marathon on behalf of many who couldn't even walk it due to a stroke. Please join me in reaching the finish line of my fundraising goal and helping end stroke.

P.S. Although the marathon is not until June 22, 2003 my plan is to have my fundraising goal met way before then. Your tax-deductible contribution, sent as soon as possible, is greatly appreciated! Every dollar makes a difference toward stroke research and education. If your company has a matching gift program, please send me the matching gift form along with your check and double your donation! If you're short on cash (like me, I'm in college) you can send me some pocket change or just a buck via a check made payable to: "ASA- Orlando" (any amount, even a dollar or less is greatly appreciated!!!). If you'd like to send me a check for a buck or more please make it payable to "ASA-Orlando" and send it to the address listed below. I'll pool everything together and put it towards my goal of $4,800.

address:
Harmony Rodgers 1922 Bonanza CT Winter Park, FL 32792

Again, Any checks should be made payable to: ASA-Orlando

Thanks for your time, consideration and support & May God Bless You.

Sincerely,

Harmony Noel Rodgers
