MPLI Golf Outing for UMich-Ann Arbor Research



The 25th annual MPLI golf outing at Hawkshead Golf Course in South Haven, MI, launched with a shotgun start on August 7 and finished the weekend celebrating nearly $14,000 raised for progressive, promising research at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Breast Cancer Research Center. Thank you to all players, supporters and sponsors!

Dr. Jacqueline Jeruss leads the breast cancer research program at UMich-Ann Arbor. Prof. Lonnie Shea, the husband of Dr. Jeruss, is also a researcher and biomedical engineer. The Shea Lab at UMich-Ann Arbor works at the intersection of regenerative medicine, immune engineering, and precision health. These two are enormously dedicated to their work and saving lives.





Golf Outings Send $26,000 to Dr. Jeruss and UMIch Breast Cancer Center



Two golf outings in early August have generated another $26,000 for the incredible, progressive research being done at the University of MIchigan-Ann Arbor under the direction of Dr. Jacqueline Jeruss. The annual MPLI outing held at Hawkshead Golf Course in South Haven, MI, will take place Saturday, August 1, 2020, and marks the 25th anniversary. The fourth annual "Take a Swing at Breast Cancer" in Ann Arbor, MI, will take place on Monday, August 3, back at Radrick Farms Golf Course. If you are interested in bringing a foursome, go to our EVENTS page of the website and get registered. Thank you to all those who played, sponsored holes, sponsored golfers and volunteered to make these events so successful!

Today is the Day. The time is now.



Dear All,

Imagine being a doctor and researcher, sitting in a hospital exam room with a young woman whose two small children are being cared for today by grandma or the babysitter while she sits in the exam room with you. You know the research you are working on could save her life if only there had been funding for the required clinical trial. The patient needs you to look her in the eyes and tell her everything is going to be okay, but you don't know how you can tell her this because the statistics show that, without the clinical trial treatment, she is not going to watch her children grow up.

I need your help. While it seems like lots of money is being raised for the cause of cancer, the past couple of weeks I have had heart-to-heart conversations with leading breast cancer researchers who tell me they are desperate and need my help.

Over the past seven years, A Sister's Hope actions in The Netherlands have placed 4.3 million euro (approximately $5.7 million) into the labs of Dutch researchers who are looking for better treatments and a cure. When there are other organizations collecting several million PER YEAR and some of that is supposed to be available for research, why is there a need for A Sister's Hope? Let's not be shy about looking at this. The researchers I have spoken with tell us they have a difficult time accessing funds from these other organizations. These researchers tell us they need A Sister's Hope.

Here is what you need to know:

- Breast cancer researchers are not getting enough funding from bigger organizations.
- Brilliant, promising research projects are sitting inactive while patients die.
- It is common practice for larger non-profit organizations to have millions packed away in a bank account that has been allocated for multi-year projects or that has not yet been awarded to projects.

- A Sister's Hope has one goal: funding breast cancer research to save lives.
- A Sister's Hope simplifies the application process, expedites funding.
- A Sister's Hope is a lean, optimistic and persistent organization that believes it is possible to improve the way things are being done.


So here is what I am asking each of you to do:

# Choose A Sister's Hope when you want to support breast cancer research.
# Form a team of walkers for the 60K this October.
# If you are not a walker, you can be a "virtual walker" and organize a team and do the fundraising as if your own life depends on it.
# Many of you might already be among those registered for the 8K Pink Moon Run & Walk. That's awesome, and the Pink Moon events are going to help us reach the bigger goal. I am asking you "Pink Mooners" to go one step further and use the 8K as a training day for the big 60K.
# Donate to A Sister's Hope.

The story at the start of this letter is true, and at least 20 women under the age of 40 will die this year in The Netherlands - potentially 4,500 women worldwide - because there is no funding for this clinical trial.

Am I angry? Yes. Will I give up on them? No.
Is this researcher frustrated? Yes. Will the researcher give up on them? No.

What about you?

Go right now to www.ASistersHope.org and register or donate. On behalf of the researchers and the patients they are working to save, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely, respectfully, and with warm regards,
Cathy

FIBA U17 World Championship Tournament, Sporthall Zuid, Amsterdam



A Sister's Hope is the first-ever charity attached to a Federation of International Basketball Associations (FIBA) world championship tournament. The Netherlands is hosting this year's tournament at Sporthall Zuid in Amsterdam and August 19 was officially "A Sister's Hope Day." Ambassadrice Olga Commandeur warmed up the crowd and players, and a silent auction on several great items raised a nice amount for research! During the tournament, a Citroen DS3 filled with balls is on display and tournament attendees are invited to guess how many balls are in the car; winner gets a free week's use of a Citroen, including the fuel!
