Hello,

I have seen how the ice bucket challenge for ALS has raised so much awareness and money towards ALS.  I am 37 years old and my mother is 64 years old.  She has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Bile Duct cancer that has metastasized to some lymph nodes and her thoracic bone in her spine.  In doing my research, I have found that bile duct cancer is one of the rarest cancers and I would like to be able to raise awareness to people about this cancer as well as to assist in collecting donations for bile duct cancer.

What I would like to do create a challenge similar to that of the ice bucket challenge.  Are you familiar with it?  However, my challenge would be to give people 24 hours to complete and then to donate.  My challenge would be for people to climb a hill, one of any size, it could be a small as a mound of sand or a hill in a park, any hill they choose.  The reason for this is my mom's first part of her last name is Hillman.  Her name is hyphenated and is Hillman-Fuller, so the other part of the challenge would be for when the person is climbing the hill that they are climbing "Full" of hope and positivity and prayers for all patients suffering from bile duct cancer.

Is there possibility that you could advertise this on your website so that when I post the challenge online, people will know where specifically to donate to?  Also, I have done hours of research and can not find anywhere that accept donations for bile duct cancer specifically.  If people are only to donate to all types of cancer I am completely fine with that as I want to do as much as I can to raise awareness and money for cancer patients everywhere as eventually everyone at some point in their life will either be effected by or have a friend or family member with cancer.

Please email me back and let me know if I can do this challenge and if your organization is on board with this.  I hope to hear back from you soon.

TAC MAD (Together all can make a difference.

Kindly,
