<p><strong><em>Some give by walking, others give by donating.</em></strong></p> <p>More than 7 million people die from cancer every year.&nbsp; In the United States, somewhere between 550,000 to 600,000 people have lost their battle with cancer this year.&nbsp; In the UK, roughly 160,000 died from cancer in 2008.</p> <p>I lost my father in April after a hard fought battle with cancer.&nbsp; He was 57 years old.&nbsp; I know first hand how hard it can be to lose a loved one to the disease.&nbsp; When someone you care about enters hospice care, you do every thing you can to make the best of the time you have left together.</p> <p>As a result, I have formed a great team of students studying in England with me to help raise funds for the <em>Arthur Rank Hospice Charity</em>, a local non-profit in Cambridge that provides quality care for patients and support for their families during a very difficult time.&nbsp; I hope you will consider making a donation and helping my team and I meet our <strong><span>&pound;</span> </strong><span id="cphMain_cphJGSiteContent__editYourPage__editYourPageBasics__targetAmountTextBoxReadOnly"><strong>2000 ($3105)</strong> goal.</span></p> <p>As international students in the UK, participating in the walk is a form of giving back to our host country while also helping others around the world battling cancer.</p> <p>So please dig deep and please consider making a donation now.</p> <p>THANK YOU!</p> <p>Sincerely,</p> <p>Kuong Ly &amp;</p> <p>Rishi Mediratta</p> <p>Henry Donaghy</p> <p>Benjamin Zintak</p> <p>Kyle Checchi</p> <p>Sheela Ramesh</p> <p>Jessica Zhu</p> <p>John Sheffield</p> <p>Brian Mueller</p>
