I wrote in an earlier post that I would respond to the program that aired last month,
Stand up to Cancer. If you saw it you would know that it raised millions of dollars.
I liked the fact that the show focused on all types of cancer, not just a few. I liked also that they used real people to tell their stories, although I was somewhat annoyed by the use of some of the celebrities, but then again, if they were used to bring in more money... more power to them.
I encourage you to visit the
website, you can watch the previously aired show via podcast. They continue to take donations and have listed a memoriam of the latest cancer victims. You can even "launch a star" to honor anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis.
While the program only lasted an hour it was a great kickoff to an enormous and important ongoing event.
