Team Chad Runs the Music City Marathon!

Continuing Chad's Fight Against Leukemia

Team Chad (www.teamchad.us) was founded in late 2007 in memory of Chad Welch, who lost his two-year battle with AML leukemia. Team Chad is again participating in the Country Music Marathon/ Half Marathon on April 30, 2011! When you make a donation to support a Team Chad runner/walker (called a fundraiser) in the Country Music Marathon, you are helping “Continue Chad’s Fight Against Leukemia” through the Chad Welch Memorial Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Even though Chad was only with us for a short thirty years, he maximized every moment and had an incredible passion for life. During Chad’s personal fight with leukemia, he also became passionate about the larger fight against leukemia. Team Chad raises money in Chad’s name to support those in need during their battle with cancer. Through the Hematology Helping Hands Fund (HHHF) at Vanderbilt Cancer Center (Chad's hospital), we have been able to directly impact the lives of people fighting the same battle Chad fought.

To date, Team Chad has raised over $230,000 to help improve the lives of people fighting their battles with cancer. Learn more about who we are helping (http://www.teamchad.us/html/tc_stories.html) – with your continued support.

I know your efforts are greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Judy Zartman "
