TOGETHER, WE TRULY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Dear Friends, We are thrilled to serve as the Honorary Chairs of the 27th Annual Celebration of Life and look forward to seeing you on August 7th at the Rod 'N' Reel Restaurant in Chesapeake Beach, MD as Calvert County once again comes together to raise money to help find a cure for cancer. Like so many other families, our families have been touched by cancer. In May 1985, we lost Bob's mother to ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among women in the United States, but strides are being made. As a result of research conducted, the incidence rate for ovarian cancer has been declining since the early 1990s. In January 2000, we lost Pat's father to brain cancer. The good news about cancer of the brain and central nervous system is the incidence and mortality rate have not increased in the last decade. The bad news, they have also not declined. This horrible disease has also affected other important members of our family and many others that we are close to. But, your generosity in years past and again this year will allow us to continue the fight to find a cure. Only with your support can we all make cancer a thing of the past. Please plan to join us on August 7th at the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa. Your generous contribution will not only help make this the most successful Celebration of Life to date, but will hopefully lead us closer to finding a cure. Sincerely, Pat & Bob Carpenter
