James N. Rentas walk

To the Editor:

The family of James N. Rentas would like to thank the citizens of Bayonne, its surrounding communities, and beyond for their presence and support of our Seventh Annual Walk for Cancer Research. The sponsorships and donations from family, friends, and businesses were overwhelming.
The number of participants was heartwarming.
There are no words meaningful enough to express our gratitude to our committee and volunteers for their hard work and generous giving of time to make this event the huge success it was!
The proceeds from this event will go to the Dr. Nancy Kemeny’s Pump Research Fund at MSKCC. Our hearts swell knowing that Dr. Kemeny, her family, and outstanding team of nurses attend this event every year. It is researchers like Dr Nancy Kemeny who will one day make colon cancer that metastasizes to the liver curable.
On behalf of our family, thank you for helping us keep Jimmy’s memory alive. On behalf of our Jimmy, thank you for supporting this event that will help fund the research needed to conquer this horrific disease. One day, because of you, there will be a cure!

THE RENTAS FAMILY
