Dear Friends:
PERSEVERANCE. Vocabulary.com says "Perseverance is not giving up. It is persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it till the end, even if it's hard."
Perseverance has been the modus operandi not only for Lazarex and our patients, but for everyone on this planet. Everything got a lot harder. This 2020 whack-a-mole marathon is exhausting. And exciting. We are learning so much about ourselves individually and collectively. Growth rarely happens when we are comfortable. That applies to Lazarex as well.
We've had to adapt and "pivot" as they say. Thankfully we migrated to the cloud so working remotely is more effective, despite the learning curve. Several of our events had to go virtual. We have to rethink fundraising. But we will persevere. We will ask for help. In fact, we would love for you to join us in September for our 1st ever virtual gala and help us reach our fundraising goal. It will one of the shortest galas of ours you've ever attended!
I offer heartfelt thanks to all of you who donated United Miles in the spring. We received over 1.5 million miles with United's match! Those miles are very useful now.
I cannot stress enough how much we appreciate you and your support. You make
it possible to help the patients we serve. You are giving the gifts of hope and time. God Bless you. We love you. Stay safe and well.
With Deepest Gratitude,
