Dear PC,
Despite some opinions to the contrary, I am not a jerk all the time. This is a thread similar to one from about 18 months ago. It would appear that I didn't learn my lesson, as I just signed up for another marathon with Team In Training (TNT), a fundraising arm of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
This will be my 5th marathon in 5 years, and my 4th with TNT. Through these events and with the help of family and friends, I've raised over $14,000 in support of our fight against blood cancers. I hope to continue that progress as I prepare to run the Lake Placid Marathon on June 12th, 2011.
Some of you may not know how important this organization is to me or why. My grandmother, Roberta "Ma" Johnson, has been fighting NHL (non-hodgkins lymphoma) since being diagnosed in 1998. She's slowed down a lot over the past few years, but part of the reason we're still able to spend time together is due to the funds TNT raises in support of research and development of blood cancer treatments.
Please use the link underneath to donate and follow my progress. The tax-deductible donation will help fund lifesaving research, education, and patient services while providing help and hope.

So regardless of how much you're able to give, know that it's for a great cause. Forward the email to friends and family. Any amount helps and takes us all one step closer to a world free of blood cancer.
Thank you for your support.
Rob
P.S. All negative remarks about my hair, facial or otherwise, will be reported to the proper authorities.
