Help Michael raise money

For participating in 2024 Rush to Crush Cancer

My Story…

"Hey everyone, it's me again; Michael! I'm doing this in honor of my In-Laws, Jettie Rae Carter, Ronald Smith, Sr. and family friend, Bruce Curry Sr."...

That was me last year. This year, I'm also doing it for myself! I had a tumor removed at the end of August of 2023, and as of the time I'm writing this, I'm still recovering. I feel pain. But knowing that the research done at the Cancer Center helped me survive this scare, I know that I'm blessed. I want to raise these donations so others can be blessed as well!


UPDATE #1 (3/15/24): I reached my initial goal. It was set at $829.23. The reasoning for this was that was the date that I had my surgery (8/29/23), when I became cancer-free! Now, I want to continue to help, so I'm bumping my goal again. I'm going to see if my friends can help me raise more than my friend Keith last year (he knows and wants to help out also!) So I'm aiming for a penny higher :-)

 I appreciate all of you who donated, those who haven't yet, and even those that care about me and my fight for this cause. Blessings to you all!!!
