Hey fellow Ten Clubbers!

About 3 years ago my Mom was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer at the age of 48. She is still fighting the cancer after many rounds of chemo and radiation. Our family and a bunch of friends do the ovarian cancer 5k run/walk every year in West Des Moines, IA. The past 2 years our team has brought in the most money of any team and we would like to make it 3 years in a row! I have seen this community support random strangers before and I know you will do it again. If you would like to donate to her team you can fallow the link and click donate now in the top right corner. http://nocc.kintera.org/faf/search/sear ... am=5407210

If you want to mail a check you can send it to the address below. Make sure you put "Joyce's Jokers" in the memo so our team gets credit for the donation! :D

National Ovarian Cancer Coalition
Iowa Chapter
PO Box 214
Ankeny, IA 50021-0214

Every dollar helps and we are getting closer to finding a cure for not only ovarian cancer but all cancers! :D

For every person who donates any amount, I will put their name in a drawing and one person will win the 2008 Virginia Beach poster! Shipping is on me and I will ship worldwide :)

    Thank you very much! My Mom was very surprised that a complete stranger would donate to the cause but I told her that's how Pearl Jam fans are! :D

    She is in good spirits but the cancer came back in 3 spots so she is going in for more chemo. Her hair will fall out again but she is a tough woman and she always has a smile on her face.
