Racing for HANK!
My name is Matt and I am just a normal guy, with a normal job, leading a normal life. It was about 5 years ago that I was fortunate enough to meet Hank and his family. Over the years I have constantly looked for ways to make a difference in the life of Hank and others with Cystinosis. These 24 hour ski events have become my outlet. This year I am focusing less on runs and more on donations with a goal of $50,000+. However lets not kid ourselves, I will still shoot to ski 200+ laps! Your support is greatly appreciated and supports a cause unlike any other.
***24 Hours for Hank is a non-profit, tax-exempt entity pursuant to Section 501(c)(3). Federal Tax ID #26-2856413. All net proceeds of the funds raised will go directly to The Cystinosis Research Foundation to support medical research. Your gift is tax deductible.
