Each year my company is part of the Children's Memorial Step Up for Kids fundraiser.  In past years I've donated to coworkers, but this year I'm fully participating and I need your help.  I have copied the text of their template email message below.  If any of you can donate, it is greatly appreciated.  Just click on the link provided below.

On Sunday, January 28, 2007 I will climb to the top of Chicago's second tallest building to raise money for the patients and families at Children's Memorial Hospital. As a not-for-profit organization, Children’s Memorial relies on philanthropy to help provide care to more than 103,000 patients and their families every year.

Proceeds from this event will benefit K.I.D.S.S. for Kids, an affiliated organization of Children's Memorial, and support the hospital's Family Services programs.

Please join in my efforts and help me support this special cause. You can make a difference in a child's life by helping me reach my fundraising goal of $50.00.

Thank you for your consideration and support,
Richard Rousseau
