2003

From Martin D. Abeloff, M.D.
Director of the Cancer Center

It is with great appreciation that I take this opportunity to thank you for your recent gift to the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. Your support is making a difference in our fight against this disease. Our scientists, clinicians, oncology nurses and staff are a remarkable team: dedicated to understanding the cancer cell, providing earlier detection techniques, creating new treatments to more effectively target malignancies, and caring for patients and their families. You are an extension of the Kimmel team and your commitment plays an integral part in our ability to fulfill our mission. Again, thank you for your contribution.

From Edward D. Miller, M.D.
Dean of the Medical Faculty
CEO, Johns Hopkins Medicine

Thank you for directing the proceeds from the 5th Annual 5k Run for Kathy to benefit cancer research at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. Your gift, in memory of your cousin, Kathryn D. Long, is greatly appreciated. Since The Johns Hopkins Hospital opened in 1889, followed by the School of Medicine just four years later, this institution has striven to be a pioneer in patient care, education, and research. We are proud of this extraordinary progress we have made and are committed to tackling the challenges that lie ahead. The support from your family and friends contributes directly to our success. Thanks to philanthropy, the finest physicians, scientists, and students can explore exciting opportunities for medical progress. On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, I offer my heartfelt thanks for your continued support.
