Hi there,

I’m Kathy Hatcher and i’m raising funds for my dear friend Kristy Griggs.

Kristy is a rare breed, and worthy of our consideration.  For the past 3 years, she has fought (stage 4) metastatic beast cancer.  In spite of this diagnosis, she has heroically fought this disease, continued to raise a beautiful boy with the challenges of Autism, and maintained a loving relationship with her boyfriend Jordan Meyer.  If that isn’t enough, she has funneled her excess energy (really…can you believe it) into founding a non-profit foundation (Trainingthroughtreatment.org (http://Trainingthroughtreatment.org)) designed to raise money to fund a clinical trial to study how vigorous exercise might improve the survival odds of those afflicted with cancer.

There is no better evidence to her thesis than Kristy herself.  Given just 6 months to live, she continues to thrive and inspire us all 3 years into her fight.

With so much on her plate, Kristy has been hamstrung and unable to manage her normal productive business as a personal trainer, and, has fallen behind financially.  Her car, which is her lifeline to providing for her son and running her business, is failing.

I am calling on the fitness community, Kristy’s friends, and all others who find inspiration in Kristy, to help her with her fight.  I have identified an anonymous friend who is willing to match, dollar-for-dollar, any money that I can raise to replace her car.  He is willing to contribute up-to $6,000.  So, my goal here is to raise $6,000, and, with matching funds, we will have $12,000 to purchase a reliable used car.

If you are able, please take action so that we can meet our goal, and keep Kristy on-track.  In my life, I have never met someone who is more worthy of all of our assistance.  Thank you, and, in advance, I appreciate your considetation.

Warm regards,

Kathy
