Charity Of The Week: Cancer Charities.

Hey Guys,

This past week we have been hit with multiple celebrity deaths. One being Farrah Fawcett, who died from Cancer. Because of this recent tragic loss of an idol, I believed it was suitable to replace the Charity of the Week, with a post of recognition.

We all know how horrible Cancer is, whether it's from personal experience of losing a loved one, to learning about it in our science books. That is why everyone comes together and tries to put a stop to it.

There are many charities that try to find cures, and help people who are effected by it - so today, this post is for all of them.

Here are some examples of cancer charities:

American Cancer Society

The Valerie Fund

Susan G. Komen For The Cure: (Breast Cancer)

The Simon Cancer Foundation:

Prevent Cancer Foundation:

Nation Brain Tumor Foundation:

For YEARS people have tried to spread awareness. For example, this PSA is from the 1960's!



And this one - more recently.



Recognize some actors/activists? That's because EVERYONE is joining this movement. This PSA includes Christy Turlington, Tilda Swinton, Elle Fanning, Tobey MaGuire, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, Morgan Freeman, Mayor Bloomberg, Keanu Reeves, Casey Affleck, Lance Armstrong, Jodi Foster, John Williams, Sidney Poitier and the Stand Up To Cancer team!

Stand Up To Cancer is a huge organization who has the support of politicians, buisness men, celebrities and us!

That is why our walk that we are planning is going towards Stand Up To Cancer! That's right, what we do will help them!

We can always help. We are the difference we want to see.
Never underestimate that.


This post is deticated to Farrah Fawcett.
In her memory, stand up to cancer.
We all can.

Have A Good Summer.
