Support the Cause

Today I found out that my great aunt has cancer. It is in her arm, across her chest, and wrapped around her spine. I myself am not a religious person, but she is, so I am asking that any one who reads this will take a moment and pray for her. I will.

This also stands as another example of how necessary it is for us to support cancer research. For the cancer to have spread as much as it has in her body, it is clear that it has been there for some time. If we had better developed methods of detection, they might have been able to catch this sooner and stop it before it took over her body.

It is very easy to sit back and tell yourself that there are plenty of people working on it or to ask what good one person's time will actually do. But please, don't let those thoughts stop you from taking action. Cancer comes in so many forms, it can hide for years as any number of seemingly harmless symptoms. We have to find a way to stop it. We have to find a cure.
