Giving Tuesday, the global day of giving, is coming up on Nov. 27. But here at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, we’re asking compassionate friends like you to give today — a week ahead of time. Why? Because lives are at stake. Every day counts in the race to end cancer. Please make your #GivingTuesday gift early, so we can help even more people who are facing cancer. Your gift will help change the lives of people like Richard Manning, who is fighting stage IV colorectal cancer. Throughout his difficult treatment — including surgery that removed 2 feet of his large intestine, and ongoing chemotherapy — his friends and family were there for him. At first, he was uncomfortable accepting their support, but he says, “Once I welcomed their giving hearts, I felt compelled to give back to others.” That realization transformed Richard’s life. Now he shares his cancer journey with others to inspire and inform. He has found joy through helping. Please follow in Richard’s footsteps by making an early #GivingTuesday gift to MD Anderson. As Richard says, “Think of a way you can give back. You will be amazed at what blessings are returned.” Thank you for making a difference, Patrick B. Mulvey Vice President for Development
