‘Super Cooper’ co-founder offers thanks

Dear Editor,

We would like to thank you for your generosity in contributing editorial coverage for the Cooper Life Fund in promoting the Super Cooper Heart Run. Thanks to you and your generosity, we were able to raise over $14,000.

The proceeds will help Terrebonne General Medical Center to provide medical and social care to the infants and families of infants admitted to the Neonatal ICU ward.

Amongst other things, the money will provide families with car seats, strollers, lodging vouchers and other items that otherwise could not be afforded while their baby was in intensive care.

Without assistance from you, the extent of exposure our event received would not have been possible.

We have already begun the planning stages for the 2009 event. We believe that with your help, a little time, and a lot of hard work, the Super Cooper Heart Run can again raise enough money to support the livelihood of families whose children are faced with extreme medical conditions.

We at the Cooper Life Fund thank you from the bottom of our heart. Your help has enriched the lives of so many.

Cooper Life Fund Co-Founder and Super Cooper Heart Run Race Director
