It was a perfect day last Saturday for the Make A Wish Walk. Team “Tyler & MTR” walked 3 miles in support of Tyler and Make A Wish. MTR staff, family, and friends all came out for the event. We had a total of 16 people on our team – see picture below.

We have reached 75% of our set goal. Donations are still being accepted up till August 29^th. Directions on donating are listed below. Help us make Tyler’s wish of going on a Caribbean cruise with his family come true!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for the walk and gave a donation! It is greatly appreciated and we hope to do it again next year!

Last year, MTR granted the wishes of two children. It was such a fulfilling experience that we decided to participate in the Make a Wish Walk for Wishes by forming a team. “Team Tyler & MTR” has a goal to raise $6,000 to grant the wish of a child. This is the average amount it takes to grant a child’s wish.

With $6,000, MTR will be able to grant the wish of Tyler who is battling Burkitt’s Lymphoma. Burkitt’s is a dangerous non-Hodgkins Lymphoma that generally strikes people between the ages of 12-30. Tyler is currently undergoing a difficult chemo regimen. He hopes that he will be able to fulfill his wish by going on a Caribbean Cruise with his family in December.

The 3-mile family friendly walk will be held at Creekside Park in Gahanna on August 16th at 9:30 am. It will begin and end at Creekside and will wind through the beautiful trails of Gahanna’s parks. At the end of the walk, everyone is welcome to join us to celebrate The 25^th Anniversary of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The party will include family entertainment for all ages including live music, mascots, activities, and a light meal for all event participants and volunteers. We hope you will be able to join us!

MTR employees participated in the Komen Columbus Race for the Cure this past Saturday. The Columbus Komen race is one of the top 10 largest Komen races in the world. In 1998, there were 875 participants that raised $50,000. This year, there were 40,266 participants and about $2 million was raised for breast cancer research, screening, treatment, and education. With these numbers, it is more and more apparent every year that more people are fighting to cure breast cancer. There is no doubt that this event will keep growing every year. So join all of us at MTR next year and help us fight breast cancer!

About the Susan G. Komen for the Cure

In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and launched the global breast cancer movement. Susan G. Komen for the Cure — is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
