A cure for cancer?

[ScarySquirrel]

Well, it's that time of year again and the Relay for Life is coming up. Basically, the Relay for Life is a program where people honor cancer survivors, those that have passed away from cancer and spend the night walking around a track while raising donations to donate to the American Cancer Society.

Those of you that have been here a while might remember that I lost my dad a little more than one year ago to cancer. So, as you can imagine, this event has taken on a whole new meaning and importance to me. I've set a personal goal for myself of $500 to donate and y'all can help me if you're feeling generous and I'd appreciate it greatly. Scope out my personal donation page, make a donation and make my day, please? It'll give you good karma, I promise!

Here's my donation page (http://www.acsevents.org/relay/mi/gvsu/aweaver).

Thanks, guys.

The rest of you need to get on with this. Charity starts on the BBMB! (y)

My grandfather died from cancer :( He was going more worse fast.. it wasnt nice to see some one you love looking like that :(

Both my parents died from cancer.
I would make a donation, but I'd rather donate to a British charity, one a bit closer to home. I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm always uncomfortable when I fly internationally and they pass the UNICEF envelopes.

There's too much emphasis put on cure for cancer and not prevention. Swedish studies have linked certain herbicides/pesticides to various forms of cancer and this recent study that says there's no link between mobile phones and brain cancer is suspicious. I'd like to know who funded the research, who had input, the methodology, who got to draft the final wording of the results of the research.

When again and again individuals who seem to come up with effective treatments are suppressed by the medical establishment we have to ask who has interests in cancer and what are those interests.

[ScarySquirrel]

Sometimes I like to bump my own topics. Just for the fun of seeing my name at top.

Other times I do it because it's something that's important to me.

Take a guess at which one this is.

how long before the event that we can still donate?

i made a wee tiny one, wish i could do more.

[ScarySquirrel]

This is one case where size doesn't matter.

Thanks for your donation, Rach.

[ScarySquirrel]

Anyone feeling generous lately? I'd still certainly appreciate it.
