When Marc Katz of
The Mechanic Group races in The NYC Marathon on November 4, he will be running
to help support the work of Team Continuum – a non-profit organization that
provides immediate, vital assistance to cancer patients and their families.
Unlike other cancer-related charities that raise money solely for cancer
research, Team Continuum has differentiated itself by advocating for cancer
patients’ immediate needs. Put simply, they are about the care, not the cure.
While we all understand the importance of research in curing this awful
disease, they recognize the need to help those living with the disease day in
and day out, particularly those who are less fortunate and who do not have
means for support.
While the economic downturn has tested the ability of many cancer patients to
carry on their everyday lives, Team Continuum has helped many of these
individuals by directly paying their bills for items not reimbursed by any form
of insurance so that families can forestall eviction, have food on their
tables, keep their lights on and fight cancer with a feeling of hope.
To join Marc in
supporting the good work being done by Team Continuum, you can donate to his
fundraising page at http://www.crowdrise.com/2012INGNYCMarathon/fundraiser/marckatz

appreciated.
