Mechanicsburg Lift for Life to be held Saturday, March 3
03/03/2012
Lift for Life is the signature event of Uplifting Athletes, a nonprofit organization created by Penn State Football student-athletes. Their mission is to align college football with rare diseases and recognize them as a national priority. Mechanicsburg Senior High School students have joined the effort of the Penn State chapter to raise money and promote awareness for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of kidney cancer. This rare disease has directly affected several staff members at Mechanicsburg Area Senior High in recent years. Don Shirley, the inspiration behind the Lift for Life initiative, lost his decade long battle with kidney cancer on October 17, 2005. He was 55 years old. His death has strengthened our resolve to continue his work. Compared to more recognized diseases, there is very limited funding for kidney cancer. All proceeds raised by the Lift for Life event benefit the Kidney Cancer Association. Since 2003, over $400,000 has been raised for this cause, and as a result, a number of new breakthroughs have been developed in the fight against this deadly disease.
