WELCOME TO RICHARD'S PAGE!

Support Richard!

Ever since I heard about this organization, I knew that I wanted to help them in any capacity that I could. I was inspired by their unique story and mission to not only help the victims of terminal illness, but their entire family.

While I feel it is important to fund medical research in finding cures for terminal illness, we sometimes overlook the people that are going through the tough times of dealing with the illness. In many cases, families have enough financial trouble paying medical bills and making it to doctors' appointments. This is why it is important for us to make sure that their last memories together are not those of worry and hardship. We need to give them the opportunity to build lasting memories and help them work through these difficult times together.

On March 21st I will be running the NYC Half Marathon to show my support of Inheritance of Hope. I have committed to raise at least $1,000 dollars in support of this organization. With your help, I hope to exceed this goal and raise as much money as I can. Thank you for your help in reaching my goal!

As a member of Team Inheritance of Hope, my participation in the NYC Half Marathon on March 21, 2010 will raise funds and awareness for Inheritance of Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving families with children who have a parent with a life-threatening illness.  Help me meet (or exceed!) my goal of $1,000.  With your contribution, we can share together in the joy of helping to build legacies for families who are facing a tremendous challenge in their lives.

Inheritance of Hope coordinates and hosts Family Retreats for families with children under 18 who have a parent with a life-threatening illness. Because of generous supporters like you, their Retreats are provided at absolutely no cost to the participating families. These events offer unique and fun activities for parents and children together, forming precious, lifelong memories for the whole family. They also create a community of people who find comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles. Just as importantly, these Retreats are restful – a rare luxury for ill parents.  Beyond the Family Retreats, Inheritance of Hope also offers a scholarship, inspirational literature, and speaking engagements that address the deep needs of these families.

Inheritance of Hope is a young organization with a big vision. In the United States, there are over one million family members facing the challenges of a parent’s terminal illness. These families’ entire lives become consumed by the illness, leaving them without the resources to plan or pay for meaningful family time. Inheritance of Hope’s vision is that “Every Family Deserves a Legacy.”®

Thanks for your support!!!
