You may want to share my journey and plans for survivorship. Follow the link to

my website: http://sites.google.com/site/dollarb58/.

I launched a fund raising campaign yesterday with the following email to my

friends, family and co-workers:

Dear Friends,

I am a three year survivor of prostate cancer. (you can read my cancer story on

my website http://sites.google.com/site/dollarb58/)

As an age group tri-athlete for 24 years I have come to rely on my training to

help balance me in life. I have continued my participation in triathlons since

being diagnosed and this has helped me with my cancer, healing mind, body and

spirit.

I want to give something back to the cancer community. The Lance Armstrong Foundation

(“LAF”) embodies the same ideals that I have strived for in my own

life. They work to help give people a sense of empowerment. Among the many

things they do is to help people realize that there is life after cancer and to

“LiveStrong”. I know from personal experience how important it is

to feel empowered and to take back your life.

I am launching a five event program to raise money for LAF. I will we be

contributing funds as well as participating in the events.

The events include 3 triathlons (including the 2010 Lake Placid Ironman) a

3,000 mile cross country bike ride and a 28.5 mile swim around Manhattan. Take a look at my website for

details about each event. http://sites.google.com/site/dollarb58/.

Like with cancer, this journey is a process that we take one step at time. The

first step in this journey is The Mighty Hamptons Triathlon to be held on

September 14, 2008. (See my website to donate http://sites.google.com/site/dollarb58/.)

During this first event I will still be on hormone treatment for my cancer.

This makes the event a bit more challenging. My plan is to be off treatments

for the next four events. The events get increasingly longer and hopefully my

cancer will cooperate with my plans.

Please join me in supporting LAF. I will be matching the first $2,500 of

contributions personally on September 13, 2008.

Please Donate today. You can either go to my website http://sites.google.com/site/dollarb58/

or you can also skip the website and donate here http://www.livestrong.org/grassroots2008/dollarb58.

Please forward this on to anyone you may think might be interested.

Best regards,

Bill Manning
