Here’s a starter template…

At 8 AM on Saturday, I am running a 10K virtual race. Want to join me in supporting a good cause? I’m raising money for the THANC (Thyroid, Head and Neck Cancer) Foundation. Every little bit helps. Your donation will make a difference, whether you donate $5 or $500. [include link to donate to your team or campaign]

You can make a lasting impact on cancer research—and ultimately improve patient care. Each day 328 people are diagnosed with head & neck cancer and 144 people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer. As a result, the number of lives that we touch daily continues to grow while we strive to meet our threefold mission to advance research, educate physicians and provide information for patients and family members. However, our work is far from over and we need your generosity to better serve our dynamic community. Thank you for your support.
