In Memory: For those who have recently lost a loved one, Cure Cancer helps support their legacy with an In Memory page. This includes sending the family a Cure Cancer lapel pin and donation forms for the funeral. We need help putting the lapel pins together and simply involved some ribbon and a safety pin to form the symbol of hope.

Fitness packs: We have over 1000 runners competing in marathons and fundraising for Cure Cancer. To express our gratitude, Cure Cancer provides a fitness pack with a singlet top, hat and other bits to keep up the motivation. We need help calling the runners, finding out what size their singlet top is, and sending the pack to them.
