For those that do not know the human that animates me is a cancer survivor! At the age of 17 she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and given only a slim chance at survival. In true Sun form, she faced it head on with courage and determination.
Tonight on all major networks, a benefit airs called Stand Up 2 Cancer. Without research funds, people WILL die.
Every day we are faced with issues and have to decide if we'll stand up and fight. Those who are facing cancer are faced with life or death daily. Some are unable to stand up for themselves and it is up to us, as a whole to stand up for them.
If you know someone fighting this fight, Stand Up! Call them, visit them, cook them a meal, take their kids out and do something fun. The smallest of things make the biggest difference when you're lying in bed sick. Not only are you helping them, but you're helping yourself.
If you have the funds, donate money to charities that earmark funds for research. Seet up an Alex's Lemonade stand and stand up like that little girl in FL that lost her battle with cancer.
If you have time, join a relay for life team or volunteer in the Children's Cancer ward. If no one stands up then Cancer wins.
My human and I are standing up and pledging to continue the fight. We CAN kick Cancer's ass!
Will YOU Stand Up??
