Welcome to Jim LaPier's Personal Fundraising Page
For the past three years, I have received generous financial contributions from many people in my quest to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research - your generosity has been truly inspiring. I have been very fortunate to be able to ride my bike as part of this annual fundraising event, all being done with good personal health. Those individuals who have contracted this disease are not so fortunate.
Most Canadians are not aware that pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the major cancers - for those inflicted, the survival rate is 25% in the first year dropping to only 8% after 5 years. These are pretty grim odds, and with your assistance I'd like to contribute to making them better.
The "7 Days In May" is a group of 30 dedicated cyclists (with an awesome support team), having raised over $1,000,000 over the last 10 years with 100% of funding raised going directly to pancreatic cancer research. As a founding principle of the 7 Days team, all administrative fees and overhead costs are covered by our sponsors and riders, meaning 100% of every dollar you donate will go directly to research.
This May, I will again be investing financially to cover all of my costs, and physically to ensure I can cover the approximate 1,200 kms over 7 days throughout Ontario (roughly 170 kms/day). I am currently in rehab mode after a nasty cycling mishap last August but I expect to be on target to successfully complete the ride.
I would be thrilled if you were able to make a contribution, that would not only help me in achieving my fundraising goal, but more importantly that would also result in us finding a cure. Any amount would truly be appreciated. I look forward to being inspired again this year with your support.
Hoping you and your families stay safe and healthy as we all continue to battle during these challenging times...cheers.
