So lately there have been tons of ways to donate to Susan G. Komen's Race for a Cure and Breast Cancer reasearch which is amazing! It's become the cool thing to do - donate to breast cancer research. What the media and general public tend to forget are all the other types of cancer out there...
It's cool to donate for Breast cancer because half the population has boobs... Save the Ta Ta's and whatnot. My mother is a breast cancer survivor so don't take this blog the wrong way. I think it is amazing the amount of support and research that has been done to save so many lives from being taken by such a horrible disease.
CANCER IS EVERYWHERE though. There are MANY DIFFERENT FORMS that affect EVERY ONE OF US in one way or another... Everyone knows someone who has been affected by this horrible disease. I really wish that the media would push to donate towards the American Cancer society so that ALL types of cancer victims can have the support they need.
Blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma are the least researched cancers out there. Lung cancer is the second highest killer among cancers. EVERYONE can be affected by these diseases. Cancer can affect all races and religons and ages.
I just ask that there becomes more awareness among all people about how this horrible disease destroys life.
If you are interested in helping to find a cure or just offer some support, please go to www.cancer.org to find out more information.
