Warren County Convention and Visitors BureauLast year, over 25,000 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In that same year, another 15,000 lost their lives. Ovarian Cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer, due in large to the fact that many people just don't know enough about it. That is why Beex.org has decided to team up with Fit to Fight in order to not only raise money, but also raise awareness about this disease and the effect it can have on a woman's life.
Beex.org is an online fund raising and promotion site that asks people ‘what will you do to raise money for your favorite nonprofit?’ In the past, individuals have raised thousands of dollars by doing things as wacky as growing a mustache, as crazy as jumping into a frozen Lake Michigan, and as worthwhile as spending a week doing service projects in a third world country. By participating in Fight to Fight you have already committed yourself to what we like to call, "A Challenge for Charity." You have agreed to run in this triathalon so that you can raise money and support for this noble cause.
As you will notice on the site, our fundraising page is very much like a fill in the blank exercise. "I will _________ if $_________ is raised for__________. While each of you will be participating in the event, we know that your motivations and reasons will all be different. So instead of telling us, "I will... Run in the Fit to Fight Triathlon", we want you to tell us why you're running in the Fit to Fight Triathalon. For instance, you could write I will..."make sure that I stay healthy as I enter my forties." or I will..."Not let the memory of my mother be forgotten." One of the primary goals of Fit to Fight is to educate women about Ovarian Cancer. These personal statements will be instrumental in communicating to others how Ovarian Cancer has affected the lives of real people.
In addition to using your I will... statements in Fit to Fight's public awareness campaign; We will be rewarding some of the more popular ones with an assortment of gifts from our sponsors ( we can expand this section when we have a better idea of what rewards we can give out).
Thank you very much for supporting this important cause and we look forward to learning more about why you're getting involved!
Good Luck Everyone!
