Sample Email

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you a new project that I think could change the lives of thousands of people affected by ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease.

Below is a letter from Avi Kremer, the founder of Prize4Life, who himself is suffering from ALS. Prize4Life is taking a very unique approach to raising both funds and awareness. They have launched a campaign called Dollar4Life, which asks individuals to donate just one dollar toward ALS research and also spread the word about the campaign.

I encourage you to take a minute to read Avi's letter and donate if you were as moved by his story and his mission as I am. If you are please visit www.dollar4life.org and give a dollar (or more). If you'd also like to help share the message, please visit www.dollar4life.org/spread.html.

Thanks and hope you're all doing well.

Dear Friend,

My name is Avi Kremer. Two years ago I was a normal, healthy 29-year old. Then I was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Now I am confined to a wheelchair, and I can barely use my hands. ALS is rapidly destroying all of my physical functions. The disease is fatal and there is no cure. Unless we find one, I will die within three years.

Last year I joined forces with friends and top researchers in the field to found Prize4Life, an innovative non-profit organization that is already removing the obstacles that stand in the way of a cure. But we need your help. We are asking you to give $1 at www.dollar4life.org and to spread the word about our unique campaign.

If you choose to give $1 and to tell your friends about the Dollar4Life campaign, if you put the information on your blog and on your website, if people see it and they give and tell people too, then that $1 will quickly become $100 and then $1,000 and eventually $1 million. That $1 million could save my life and the lives of the 500,000 people around the world who have ALS.

Please go to www.dollar4life.org to make your donation. Each donation will light up a pixel in the portrait gallery of ALS patients on the site. We hope that with your help we will light up one million pixels and move closer to brightening the life prospects of ALS patients everywhere.

Thank you,

Avi
