Before I begin, I'd like to congratulate you for garnering Head MiddleMan. Thank you for this giveaway but PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
Let me tell you a sad story. All of it is 100% true, not exaggerated or embellished in any way. I'll keep it succinct and simple.
Last year, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors and our family are scratching our heads as to why it occurred - she took care of her body and our family pretty well. I guess it's fate, it's unfortunate, I know. For a period of time, we were ill with grief but eventually, we managed to keep a positive attitude.
Anyways, my school holds a 'Relay For Life' annually, honoring cancer victims and survivors. I looked forward to this event, and wanted to participate in every way possible, thinking to myself: I can make a difference, maybe not in my life, but maybe in some else's. I was selected as team captain of my Relay For Life team and we raised over $200.00 through out fundraiser and $1900.00 individually.
However, our fundraising site was poorly decorated (in fact, it wasn't decorated at all). We could have raised more money, had we had garnered more funds from sponsors to buy decorations (we didn't want to bother our parents, we wanted to make them proud by displaying our independent achievements). The event was over and it was time to apply for next year's 'Relay For Life' committee, the group that plans the event.
I thought to myself: This would be a perfect opportunity to lead and showcase the world the true egregious nature of cancer, hoping to help raise plenty more in aspirations for a cure (all proceeds went to the American Cancer Society). I filled out the application and wrote an incredibly detailed essay about my incredible desire to help fight cancer because of my personal experience.
However, I was rejected. Now I can't help in the direct way of aiding the ailing cancer patients in the world, but I can help raise donations by raising funds from sponsors for my team and my school. I'm just hoping you'd read this and consider giving the money to me - it'll go to a good cause, I promise. You don't even have to donate it to me, just donate it to a good cause - it beats the HELL out of giving it to kids who are already overprivileged.
Thank you for your time.
