## **Breaking Records. Saving Lives.**

**From August 29th to September 2nd, as a scorekeeper I will be supporting the 56 caring and courageous baseball players who will be stepping up to the plate to challenge the Guinness World Record by playing in the 3rd edition of the World’s Longest Baseball Game - all while making a difference for cancer patients right here in Alberta.**

**They will be playing baseball for 100+ hours straight - rain or shine - with the goal of raising $300,000 in support of the Cure Cancer Foundation. All funds raised through the 2024 World’s Longest Baseball Game will go towards the purchase of an MR Sim at the Cross Cancer Institute. This state of the art equipment will change the way we detect, diagnose and treat cancer.**

**Thanks to the generosity through this baseball game, The University of Alberta researchers will continue to make strides in cancer research and improve the lives of patients and their loved ones.**

From August 29- September 2,2024 56 players will tie on their cleats to challenge the Guinness World Record by playing in the 3rd edition of the World's Longest Baseball Game- all while making a differnece for cancer right here in Alberta.

The players will play for 100+ hours straight in Alberta's ever changing weather with the goal of raising funds in support of Cancer Research through the University of Alberta!

I am again volunteering as a scorekeeper at this event. It should be much warmer than the -50 degrees during the World's Longest Hockey Game in 2021. We have unfortunately all had a family member or a friend battle this disease and some have lost that battle. My dad past at the young age of 57 only having the opportunity to meet a few of his eventual 12 grandchildren, my mom fought cancer and survived. I have lost other family members, uncles, cousins, and aunts to cancer. We lost a very dear friend Betty Ann Coyne taken from us too early. We also remember little Max , grandson to Larry and Karen Spiess, good friends of ours who lost their beautiful grandson at a very young age of 6. The list could go on and on :(

Your support provides hope to the many people who struggle everyday to fight their battles with cancer. The funds raised from this event will go to the purchase of MR-Sim machine to give doctors a better tool in diagnosing and treating cancer.

Your donations and support is very much appreciated.

Thank you.
