We have joined the "Let's Nail Cancer" campaign and are going to raise over $1,000.00 as a team.  We are now posing the challenge to all teams in the USPHL to join in the fight by raising $500.  Together we can help raise a lot of money for a a very worthwhile cause.

I wanted to tell you a little about a new social media campaign that our foundation, www.cureatrt.org is launching to bring awareness & funds for a cure for ATRT - Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor. ATRT is a Brain & Central Nervous System cancer that afflicts infants & toddlers. A child under three, diagnosed with AT/RT has only a 10% chance for survival and is likely to succumb to the disease within six months.

Our campaign, Lets Nail Cancer is a social media campaign to to raise awareness & research funding for pediatric brain cancer. Lets Nail Cancer was inspired by Avalanna Routh who lost her battle with ATRT at just age 6. Avalanna gained a world wide following after her wedding to Justin Bieber - Avalanna was known as Mrs Bieber. The launch date of LNC is Oct 25th (Avalanna's birthday) & we would love you for you to join us in this fight.

To participate in this fight against pediatric brain cancer, participants simply have to follow 3 easy steps:

* Paint your fingernails purple

We have a number of high profile celebrities / athletes committed to Paint/Pic/Donate and our hope is that you will join us in this fight.
