    Number One Team Working Hard For Cancer Research By Christy Smith


The Myers Team has consistently been one of the Top Ten Re/Max Offices in the world, according to Mark Myers. Mark and his wife, Susie, are both members of RE/MAX Hall of Fame, an honor given for each having earned a million dollars in commissions. The Myers Team is the top selling NAMAR team for two years in a row.

This team of professionals who have worked so hard to find the perfect house for thousands of families are now putting their energy and enthusiasm into fighting cancer.

"It seems like just about everyone you know has a friend or family member battling the disease." and Myers. Cancer has struck the Myers' more than once. Susie's father died of liver cancer, and a colleague at Re/Max Preferred passed away due to melanoma.

"He didn't even feel sick," said Mark Myers.

The threat of cancer hit home recently when Susie's routine exam revealed suspicious results.

"She turned out to be fine, but sitting in that waiting room about scared me to death," said Myers. "I thought, there has to be someway we can be pro-active in fighting cancer, not just wait to be a victim."

That's when the Myers Team began using only breast cancer research postage stamps for all their home and business mailings. The stamp cost a little more, but 11 cents from each stamp goes towards breast cancer research.


"It's such a small, inexpensive thing to do to help fight cancer, but it didn't appear that the post office was promoting the stamps very much," said Myers. "I wondered what I could do to help promote them."

Like a true real estate agent, Myers hit upon the idea of having people a contract agreeing to purchase breast cancer research stamps. This led to the construction of their newest web site www.contracttocurecancer.com. At this site, any person can sign the contract and learn more about cancer research.

The purchase of the breast cancer research postage stamp has raised 24 million dollars as of this month, according to the website.

In addition to their efforts to fight cancer, there are many reasons why The Myers Team is so successful in the real estate field.

"We have developed what I call "The Real Estate Office of the Future." said Myers, who has held his real estate license since 1985.

The Myers Team publishes their own magazine of listings that is mailed to every home and post office box in Loganville and Snellville, and is placed at strategic locations around metro Atlanta.

Agents with The Myers Team are equipped with two way radios so a family looking for a home can have immediate service. The Myers Team works hard to sell homes. If .......

HAVE YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT TO CURE CANCER? Karen Eggers

Maybe you’ve seen the signs around Loganville, “Sign the Contract to Cure Cancer,” and wondered what it’s all about.  They’re on cars, in store windows, on tee shirts, everywhere you look.  This program is the creation of Mark and Susie Myers of the  Myers Team at RE/MAX Preferred. 

In a nutshell, the program promotes the awareness of and purchase of the U.S. Postal System’s Breast Cancer Research Stamp.  To date, U.S. citizens have purchased enough stamps to contribute over $27 million for cancer research.  These dollars go toward tumor research, which benefits many types of cancer, not just breast cancer.  According to the U.S. Postal System, the program raises over $972 per HOUR. 

As a recent cancer survivor and longtime volunteer for the American Cancer Society, I wholeheartedly support the Contract to Cure Cancer Program.  It’s such an easy way for citizens to contribute to cancer research, and help find a cure.  Being diagnosed with breast cancer and becoming a survivor has changed my life in ways that only other survivors can understand.  Every day is a great day and a gift.

 

 

To participate, all you need to do is visit the program’s website at www.contracttocurecancer.com, and sign up by pledging to buy the stamps.  Many area citizens, churches and businesses have joined us by purchasing the stamps and placing signs in their yards and business windows.  You can also see photos of participants and their places of business.

On September 28th, Dr. Bodai, the creator of the Stamp Program, will visit Loganville to nationally kick of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is October each year.  We are planning a huge rally to kick off the month and are very excited about his upcoming visit.

If you would like more information about how you can help, please call The Myers Team Office at 770-554-7230.
