Student Visionaries of the Year Golden Gate
Richard Byrne | Cancer's Collapse
Richard's Student Visionaries of the Year Golden Gate Fundraiser
Jan 18, 2024
Thank you for clicking on my page and reading my letter. I'm very grateful that you're helping me reach my goal and honoring the greatest dad in the world, Rick Byrne. My dad raised me to be the person I am today. His humor and ability to find joy in everything brought my family so many happy and incredible times. By raising money I hope to make sure another child doesn't loose their parent to this terrible disease.
As I mentioned in my letter I am fundraising in honor of my dad who battled with blood cancer this past year. I am picking up where he left off and I am hoping to honor him through it and even beat the $18,000 that he raised last year when he was in remission and did the Big Climb.
My dad was grateful for your support last year. Together we can honor him and we will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!
Richard Byrne
