Dear Friend and Potential Sponsor,
Following a year of competition I
am qualified and scheduled to compete in the National Senior Games. The games are July 21 thru August 5, in Cleveland Ohio. I will be competing for 3 days, July 24 thru
26, in 4 Field Events held at Baldwin Wallace University Track and Field
Stadium: Long Jump, Shot Put, Discus and Javelin. I competed in my first track meet
at age 7, in Indianapolis, Indiana and stopped about the age of
16. Life happened, injuries came and I
put my national and Olympic aspirations on hold. In the years that followed, I raised a son
who just happened to get a shot in professional sports following his college
stint as a “Blue Chipper” football and track man. Imagine That! Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in
1993, I became a retired bedridden Probation Officer.
In 1995 I was miraculously healed
during a journey to the holy land, Israel.
I moved from Bowie, Maryland
to Kissimmee, Florida in 2007 for better climate and a
healthy life style more conducive to Asthma and Severe Hypertension. Now it’s my turn. I am 66 years young and resurrecting myself
from spectator to participant, again. My first meet was in 2011, and this is
the first National Game held since my “come back”. As a witness that dreams can come true, I
have a congratulatory letter surprisingly received days ago from Florida’s Governor, Rick
Scott. I was published in an article from our local
publication, Reflections.
If I find favor with you after
reading the contents of this sponsor request, please know that I am in serious
need to raise funds to reach Cleveland. I cannot do this without your help. Initially
after counting the cost, I was stupefied into not making the trip, at all. But
after receiving the letter from Governor Rick Scott, and encouragement from
friends and family who were disappointed in my surrendered disposition because
of finances, I reconsidered. And since
the event is only a month away, there isn’t much time. As I write this letter,
an account is being opened at MidFlorida fcu where donations can be sent and
/or transferred directly to the account.
I am in need of $2775 to cover the
cost of hotel, air fair, meals, transportation and shipping of equipment. If you are aware of any other potential
sponsors please let me know as soon as possible or share the contents of this
letter with them. Please call or email
to acknowledge your response as soon as you receive this letter so I will know
how to proceed with planning. The sooner
I book the air line the better the cost and some of the cost could be
reduced. If anyone is willing to pick up
the cost of any one single item (food, air fair…etc) that would be a tremendous
relief and blessing. Nothing is too big or too small. I humbly appreciate each one of you. Thank you
in advance!!! In Closing, let me say, “The athlete within you never dies. I’m neither dead nor priced out of the market
(with your help), yet.”
Sincerely,
Debra Hanes
