The Tank Runs Against Cancer in the NYC Marathon
Though the Tank has endured his share of injuries (IT Band, back, Achilles, tendonitis, knee, etc) in running eight marathons (ran the NYC Marathon twice) on all seven continents over the past two years, the Tank should take Steve's wise advice and retire. Even though I am too injured, too heavy, and too crazy to run, I am running November's NYC Marathon on Fred's Team for those who can't -- children with cancer. At Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, doctors and researchers are working on clinical trials that have the potential to increase the survival rates. In recent years, the overall survival rate of children with cancer has increased from 55% to 70%.
Though a very worthy cause, I am only about 40 percent of the way there ($1,760 of my $4,500 goal). I have to raise $2,250 by October 15 to get my uniform for the NYC Marathon and $4,500 by December 15 as to not to have to pay the difference. Long story even for me and you know how I like to write.
All proceeds go to cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and are 100 percent tax deductible. Please feel free to share the following fundraising link with friends, family, colleagues, etc.
If you wish to donate offline, please use the following address:

Attn: Fred's Team
Please make the check out to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and write my name, runner ID, and race code (Tomislav Djurdjevich, 999035640, E06MPDNY) in the Notes area of the check.
If you wish to donate by fax or snail mail, please provide a fax number or a snail mail address and I'll send you a donor form.
Whichever way you donate, any and all contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
