Help Cancel Cancer

More Birthdays


This website is amazing. Its the American Cancer Society way of sponsoring more birthdays. Basically its a website that allows you to explain why birthdays are important to you (survivors of cancer and friends of cancer victims or survivors). Another wonderful thing about this website is that you can have birthday cards sent to your friends on Facebook. The thing about these birthday cards are the fact that top artists are singing through the virtual card. The donations that are optional go to American Cancer Society to moving things closer to making a step to more birthdays for cancer patients. 


Some of my friends are disgruntled about donating money. A very close friend of mine became angry when I brought this up as a discussion. "Why give money when they don't find a cure they find something that doesn't work and the patient still dies?" And simply put; that is a step that they won't make again or they will perfect it so that it will work.


Here is some information I found this morning while researching some things that I was interested in knowing. 
"St. Jude was recently designated a National Cancer Institute (NCI)Comprehensive Cancer Center. This prestigious recognition makes St. Jude the first and only NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center solely focused on pediatric cancer to receive the distinction. The University of Tennessee Cancer Institute (UTCI), located in Memphis,Tennessee, is the adult cancer partner of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital." St.Jude's Research Hospital


Another way to help is to click the link below. I'm a partner in hope and I have a niece/cousin that I am proud to say gets another birthday because of St. Jude's.
