Hold for Hope: Join the Fight Against Childhood Cancer"

Hi, I’m Carlos Reis, and I’m inviting you to join me for Arms United Against Cancer—a fundraiser dedicated to courage, compassion, and a whole lot of fun! I’m raising money for Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), focusing on helping children fighting cancer—and, if we reach major goals, I’ll support Tourette syndrome organizations too.

Why This Matters to Me

Since I was a kid, I’ve lived with Tourette syndrome and spent time in treatment and research studies at Yale Child Study Center. Those early experiences taught me about resilience, hope, and supporting others through tough times. Over the years, I’ve donated to the Tourette community—often through my own special wristbands, which I’m happy to share with anyone who’d like one as a thank-you for your support!

About the Challenge: Arms United Against Cancer

This isn’t your typical fundraiser. Arms United Against Cancer is an endurance challenge where anyone can join and test their strength—holding water jugs or buckets out at shoulder height for as long as possible. The longer you hold, the more money you (or your sponsors) pledge.

Want to spice it up? Try it one-handed, form teams, or invent new, fun challenges together!

The main idea: “Holding strong, together, for hope and healing.” Let’s rally as a community, have fun, and raise as much as we can for a truly important cause.

How You Can Help

Donate directly—every dollar supports cancer research and patient care through SU2C.

Want a TS (Tourette syndrome) wristband? Just mention it when you donate, and I’ll send you one!

Whether you join the challenge, sponsor a friend, or cheer us on, your involvement makes a real difference.

Where the Money Goes

Every dollar raised through Arms United Against Cancer will go directly to help children battling cancer (via SU2C). If our fundraising exceeds the stretch goals, I’ll also donate a portion to Tourette syndrome advocacy—because I know how powerful support can be for those fighting invisible battles, too.

Let’s Do This—Together!

Let’s make Arms United Against Cancer bold, joyful, and deeply meaningful. Together, we’ll lift each other up—literally and figuratively—helping kids in the fight of their lives, and raising awareness for Tourette syndrome as well. Thank you for being part of this journey and for making a real impact!
