Rappelling Down a 27-story Hotel in the Fight Against Lung Cancer
Posted on July 14th, 2011 By Patricia Kilgore 18 Comments So Far
I want to tell you about a very dear friend of mine, Mr. John Erickson, who I met when we both served as board members for the Guild for the Blind, a Chicago-based non-profit that serves individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
John is one of the most active people I know. Along with being a savvy, successful financial advisor for Kovitz Investment Group in Chicago, a best-in-class investment management firm, he jumps out of airplanes. He skis black hills. And this fall, he’ll be rappelling down Chicago’s 27-story Wit Hotel to raise funds in memory of his good friend Phyllis Maggos, who lost her battle to lung cancer at the young age of 39.
Did I mention that John happens to be visually-impaired? I don’t know how he does these brave things that daunt most of us—he continues to amaze me.
Please, if you have the time or resources, donate to his cause here. Or share the link to his fundraising page with your friends.
John is raising funds for the Respiratory Health Association, whose mission is to fight lung disease through research, advocacy and education. Over the last two decades, cancer death rates in the U.S. have fallen thanks to research funded by organizations like the RHA. Those organizations raise money through fundraising initiatives like the one John is partaking in.
Cheers to my friend John, and the important efforts that he and others have made to fight cancer!
