PSC Labels - For Road to Chicago

[Guest guest]

I am sending out my fundraising letters for the Road to Chicago. It was

three years ago, that I discovered PSC (diagnosed in my son) and PSC

Partners Seeking a Cure. Finding PSC Partners and this website and all of

you was wonderful. I was a mess... I read nearly every post that had

occurred since the website was started.

I signed up for the Pittsburgh conference. I heard about the Virtual Walk

to raise money for PSC research and I immediately started asking friends,

family, co-workers for donations. I HATE asking for donations! Yet, for PSC

research, each year for the past three years, I MAKE myself do this... for

my son, for you or your family, and for anyone else who may be diagnosed

with PSC at any time in the future.

Last year, I really did not want to ask people for donations again. When I

said this to my sister, she said, " If you don't ask, who will " ... so I asked

and people willingly and generously donated. And now PSC Partners is

evaluating at least 14 international research proposals asking us to fund

their research! The opportunity to support these research proposals and

participate in the STOPSC research is possible because of the fundraising

through the Road to ville and the prior Virtual Walks.

I am sending out Lee Bria's letter, which I updated just a little. I'll

attach it.

Also attached are the PSC labels that my husband made for the return

envelopes. Last year I found it worked so well to send return envelopes,

addressed, and I also pre-stamped them. Information about printing the

return labels are below.

I encourage everyone to participate, even by only asking one or two people

that care about you or your loved one with PSC. Most people would rather

give to a cause where they know the person! Most people would like to give

to a foundation that is run by volunteers and has less than 2% overhead

costs (most have 15 to 30% overhead, or maybe more). People care about you!

Plus we have an extremely generous matching donation of $45,000 - so every

donation, no matter how large or small, is doubled! And 100% of the Road to

Chicago donations fund research for PSC! (Ricky, please correct me if I

gave any incorrect information!). My birthday is in 2 weeks and I ask

everyone to donate to PSC and please don't buy me any frou-frou's or

gadgets.

PSC return envelope mailing labels for Road to Chicago contributions. I

borrowed the PSC Partners logo from the website.

These print fine on HP Laserjet printers in either color or black and white.

They print from Microsoft Word onto sheets of 20 1 " x4 " Avery Labels (5261)

available at OfficeMax, Staples, etc.

Note that if the address field gets longer or shorter, the logo gets

enlarged or shifted, etc., they may not fit within the label boundaries.
