Dear Friend:
I would like to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of support and love you
have shown me through your contributions to the Oklahoma Brain Tumor Foundation.
In an earlier e-mail last December, I spoke to you about my friend Brian who lost
his battle last year with brain cancer. But Brian is just one of many whom we have
already lost to this disease. Currently, we estimate there are over 3,000
Oklahomans battling a brain tumor today.
Recently I had the honor of meeting a young man by the name of Nathaniel who
was diagnosed with a brain tumor in early January.
Nathaniel is by all accounts a normal 17 year old, that is until his brain tumor diagnosis.
Nathaniel is now legally blind and paralyzed on his left side due to the brain tumor.
Nathaniel is working to learn to walk and reuse the left side of his body.
The prognosis of his eyesight is not as positive.
The reality is he may never regain his sight. Nathaniel is a true American hero. He
refuses to give up and works 8 hours a day in physical therapy to regain the use of
the left side of his body. Nathaniel hopes to start college at the University of
Oklahoma next year.
The Oklahoma Brain Tumor Foundation has been working with this family to make
modifications to his home to accommodate his disabilities and has been able to
solicit the support of the community to rally around this young man and his family
to make this transition as smooth and financially painless as possible.
The work of the Oklahoma Brain Tumor Foundation is unprecedented and truly
impacts the lives of the families we help.
If you have not already given to help support the tremendous work of the
Oklahoma Brain Tumor Foundation, I urge you to not wait to make your donation.
We still have a way to go to meet our goal of raising $160,000 to meet our budget
goals this year. If everyone made just a $5.00 contribution we would do more that
reach our goal, we could exceed our goal.
There are several ways you can make a contribution, you can mail it to Oklahoma
Brain Tumor Foundation, 1601 N. Drexel Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73107; you
can call (405) 942-6442 to do a credit card payment over the phone or you can visit
our website www.okbtf.org, and contribute on-line.
Please don't put this off, I urge you to make your tax-deductible contribution today.
Remember, Together We Can Change Our Future!
Blessings,
Jason White
Honorary Chairman
