Gordon & Mason Sieber

You can make a difference!!!

Hi,

I'm Joe Woolveridge. In January 2005 my girlfriend's best friend Rosie Sieber received some devastating news. Gordan, her husband had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer which had advanced to the last stage, (multiple tumors of malignant metastatic melanoma), which is a terminal illness. He is only 38 and has two children Ari (12) and Mason (18 months). Because of Gordon's advanced stage of cancer, he's unable to continue working, therefore there's no source of income for the family other than Rosie's part-time job as a teacher assistant.

In addition to the tragic news, Gordon's only hope of survival was receiving a combination of chemotherapy and an experimental drug called PT-100. Recently, the doctors informed him that the therapy was unsuccessful.
I have spent time with his 18-month-old boy, Mason. He is a great kid and his parents have done an excellent job raising him. I thought that it would be great if we could raise money to start Mason a trust fund for college. This could give Gordon something to feel good about during such a terrible period.

On May 25rd 2005 I cycled 300 miles from San Francisco to Santa Barbara along the Pacific Coast Highway. I did this in order to raise awareness and to demonstrate that I believe in the cause enough to donate 3 months of my life training and then two weeks cycling 50 miles a day. I'm doing something very challenging that will take months of preparation. Please support this cause in any way you can.

Do something good with your money this week, make a struggling family's future brighter!
