Dear friends and family, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has already supported and shared my fundraising effort—it truly means more than I can express. I’m following up because this cause is so close to my heart. As many of you know, my son was diagnosed with Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma(NLPHL) last year. Today, he’s doing well, and I’m beyond grateful for the care and advancements that made that possible. I felt like I had to give back somehow. That’s why I’ve committed to riding over 1,700 miles from Houston to Niagara Falls as part of a continuous bike relay to support Blood Cancer United(formerly Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). Their work gives families like mine hope—hope for treatment, recovery, and more time together. I’m continuing to work toward my fundraising goal of $4,000, and I would be incredibly grateful for your support if you’re able to give or share my page with others. Every single donation—no matter the size—is a step toward better treatments, stronger support systems, and more lives saved. Thank you again for your kindness, encouragement, and support. It truly makes a difference. With gratitude, Officer E. Perez A grateful father
