Dear Friends, 
 
Yes, we're doing it again!  Come and walk with TEAM BEN.  Bring the whole family!
 
 We'd love to see you.
 
 
Columbia Presbyterian and its Hope and Heroes foundation are the haven of hope for any families on the west side of Manhattan whose children have to battle cancer.  We would so appreciate your support for this important west side institution that makes their difficult battle for life possible and wins so many.
 
 
Sally and I are walking again in New York for the Hope and Heroes Foundation and TEAM BEN on Sunday, May 18, 2014.  Hope and Heroes sponsors research and integrated therapies at Columbia Presbyterian Children’s Hospital.  We are grateful for the important part Hope and Heroes played in Ben’s fight for life and the fight for life of so many other children.
 
Hope and Heroes provided access to a cutting-edge cancer research study which put Ben’s difficult-to-treat leukemia into remission.  Without it, the treatment which successfully got Ben to remission wouldn’t have been available.
 
Hope and Heroes is also the primary funding source for the hospital’s integrated therapies program which includes art therapy, acupuncture, meditation, therapeutic massage, music therapy, video, and active video games.  All these helped Ben deal with the difficult effects of cancer treatment and were as important to Ben’s successful oncology treatment as the cancer protocols themselves.  Integrated therapies are crucial to help the children get through difficult cancer treatment, and though absolutely necessary for success, are beyond what insurance will pay hospitals to provide.  Hope and Heroes is the only source of funding for those children who need those special therapies.
 
So once again TEAM BEN will be walking on May 18th, to remember Ben and raise some money for this foundation which so helped him.  We would so love to have you come walk with us.  Anyone can contribute to this effort.  Any support is appreciated.  The Walk is a mile long, held here in Manhattan, so anyone local can just come to Walk only, seek his/her own friends to walk, and/or contribute, too.  And if you are not local, we would be so glad to be in your thoughts and have your support.
 
We look forward to hearing from you soon and, if you can, see you on May 18th.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
 

 
 
Dan and Sally
