> Hi all :)
>
> I am part of an independent group of youths, who are, under the
> auspices of the Citibank-YMCA Youth For Causes program, organizing a
> night cycling marathon/relay to raise funds for Dover Park Hospice.
>
> Dover Park Hospice (DPH) was founded in 1992 to provide palliative
> care to the terminally ill. It seeks to provide comfort, relief of
> symptoms and palliative care for patients with advanced disease, and
> also to support their grieving families. The hospice needs $2.6
> million in funds a year to cover operational and maintenance costs
> alone, and depends largely on the goodwill of donors as well as on its
> strong team of volunteers to survive.
>
> Our event, entitled Project Sunrise, will last from 10pm on the 23rd
> of July(Sat) to 10am on the 24th of July(Sun), and will be held at
> East Coast Park .
>
> We need you to be one of our cyclists and fundraisers! Cyclists will
> cycle as many rounds of the 10.5km East Coast Park cycling track as
> they can, with a common aim of clocking AS MUCH MILEAGE AS POSSIBLE
> within these 12 hours - sponsors will then pledge a certain amount per
> km all the cyclists cycle in total. As a cyclist, you will also be
> given the opportunity to participate in our fundraising process - each
> cyclist will be given a pledge card to raise funds for our cause from
> your family and friends. (We sincerely hope this does not deter you
> from joining this fun and exciting event - remember the effort put in
> is all for a good cause!)
>
> The registration fee for this event is $10 (without bicycle) or $16
> (with bicycle). All participants will also be provided with some
> refreshments and be given a T-shirt from Dover Park Hospice.
>
> By organising this event, we wish to bring sunshine and warmth into
> the lives of the patients of Dover Park Hospice; we, however, need
> your help to make this event a success. Hence, we look very much
> forward to your favourable response – your help will definitely be
> greatly appreciated by the staff and residents of Dover Park Hospice.
