Stand Up To Cancer

Losing my dad this year to cancer has changed my life emensely. Cancer has always been nasty, but it's different now. It's personal. Cancer has changed my life. Watching my dad waste away right before my eyes is something I'll never forget.

Tonight I watched Stand Up 2 Cancer. I commend NBC, ABC & CBS for the hour they all came together in an effort to raise money for cancer research. I also commend Sydney Kimmel for donating $25 million. This is an important cause. So many people are touched by cancer personally - either they have it or someone they know and love has it.

I hope that through this concerted effort, much money is raised and talented researches will be able to find more effective treatments if not a cure. If you can afford to donate anything, even a dollar, give it. That dollar may be the difference in finding a cancer and not. Giving is easy, just go to the Stand Up 2 Cancer website.
