I’m in! Sixteen years ago my father died of cancer. He was only 53 years old. I sat in the hospital praying for a miracle, praying that the Chemo would work. Not for a minute did I think he wouldn’t see me graduate from college, or walk me down the aisle, or meet my children, or see me start my own company. He didn’t. I’m in! It’s all I can say to Stand up to cancer.


“Cancer takes one person every minute. One life in a moment. They are our brothers, our sisters, our fathers and mothers, our husbands and wives, our best friends, our children, ourselves. Every day in America 1500 people die and yet the means to save them are literally within our reach. To wait any longer for someone else to save our lives and the lives of those we love is unforgivable.”

Are you in?
