{ Stand Up To Cancer }


Tonight on ABC & NBC they had a fundraiser, Stand Up To Cancer. I couldn't help but watch and donate to this cause. The proceeds go to assisting cancer research, prevention, detection, treatment and even reversal of this national epidemic. Cancer is #1 leading cause of death. Both of my grandfathers died this year from cancer and my mom underwent Kemotherapy. My grandfather, better known as "Bompa" suffered from a rare form of cancer called, Transitional Cell Carcinoma. He was checked in about January and they didn't find anything, when they finally found it in February it was already at a stage 4. He passed just a few weeks later.

If you missed this program you can still make donations or learn more at standuptocancer.org.
