#creatingchallenge day 6 / kristin's cancer treatment fund

My running partner, Kristin, was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and is having to do a fundraising campaign to raise funds for her cancer treatment. Would you consider contributing to her treatment since it is not covered by insurance?

Here is the open letter she sent to our run club for details on how to contribute:
"Hello Unstoppables (our run club),
Many of you know that I was diagnosed this fall with stage 3 breast cancer. What you may not know is that after much research I have decided to follow an alternative treatment approach.  Unfortunately, this approach is not covered by insurance and I am responsible for the full cost of treatment. Therefore, I have started a fundraising campaign.  I can't start treatment until I have the funds in place.  It's my goal to have the funds and start treatment by January 31st.
Would you consider helping  me out?  Here's how you can help:
 1     Go to my page and read my story:

2.    Share my site with your friends and family and write an endorsement
for my cause?  The more I can get the word out the better.

3.    Consider making a financial gift to my fund? Any amount is greatly
appreciated. http://www.gofundme.com/kristinscancerfund
4.    Continue to pray for me!  I covet your prayers and words of
encouragement
Thank you so much for your help!
With so much gratitude and love,

Who would have thought that crowd funding would become a place for community support and contribution?
