Only four weeks until our Grand Finale celebration! We have now raised over $5,000, halfway towards our goal! Thank you to our anonymous donor, along with Laura Black and Lilian and Lindsay Tade. I am so grateful for everyone's donation and consideration of helping Cultivating Cures's cause! Even though we have gotten this far, I am determined to get to our goal of $10,000, and we have $5,000 left to go! Please consider giving to this cause and helping cancer patients around the world.

Also, there will be a profit share night at Torchy's Tacos in Belterra Village on Tuesday, February 5. We will receive 15% of the proceeds from the sales between 4:00 and 8:00 pm. Please try to come and show the person taking your order the attached document below.

Thank you for your support!

Week two has come to an end. We have now raised over $4,200, which means that we need $5,800 to reach our goal! Thank you to this week's donors, Randy Banton, Ariana Chandler, and Russell Banton! I really appreciate your contribution to our cause! Those of you who haven't donated yet, please consider! Even a couple of dollars helps in the long run! It could be your donation that allows a cancer research project to have enough funding to continue and make the lives of cancer patients improve!

If you are unable to donate at this time and still want to help, spread the word and share the link to this website (on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and/or help me get in touch with other individuals or companies who can contribute.

Let's all help cure cancer together!

Wow, already a week has gone by and my team has already raised over $3,500! I am so excited to continue to get closer to our $10,000 goal with the six weeks we have left. Thank you to Fritz Boehm, Apple, Joe & Debbie Pecota, Charity Nerds, and Susan White for your generous donations!

Please consider donating to this campaign. Any amount will help us get closer to our goal. Thank you!

My mom was diagnosed with brain cancer in March of 2012. My whole family has been dealing with the struggle of watching her become progressively worse and worse through radiation treatments, surgeries, and now chemotherapy. Through this struggle and chaos, our normal is now dealing with the fight against cancer, day in and day out. I have since been motivated to help cancer patients in any way that I can, and LLS has given me the exact opportunity I have been hoping for. Even though my mom doesn't have blood cancer, so much of LLS's research has been an aid in breakthroughs in the search for different cancer cures. Approximately 40% of cancer-fighting therapies approved by the FDA were first approved to treat blood cancer patients, and many of these have gone on to help other types of cancer patients.

I am so excited to work with my team, Cultivating Cures, to raise as much money as possible to help as many cancer patients as we can. I hope that you can help by donating even a few dollars to help this cause. Even a small amount of money can make a large difference in funding cancer research. It is your gift that makes a difference in the fight against cancer!

Sincerely,

Makayla Banton
