Let's Stand Up To Canser...EVERYDAY

So, here I sit on a Friday night getting ready to tune into "Stand Up To Cancer." I caught a bit of it earlier...it seems like its going to be very touching and inspiring. I know that some of the things that I have been reading on the interweb about it and some people are a bit skeptical about it being a "telethon"...I say hold that thought.
Look at what is happening here..three major networks are working together to spread the word about canser. It is about time something like this happened...lets make people more aware. Canser steals so many people from us everyday...1500 to be exact. We have to help stop the progress of this terrible and deadly disease.
Let's Get Involved!
Lets Stand Up To Canser Everyday!
We are going to do our part, starting with a benefit, as well as the start of a foundation, in November, aka Lung Canser Awareness Month.
We are just in the beginning stages of the planning and believe me, I WILL keep everyone posted!
So, if you can,please try to check out this show tonight and grow your brain..knowledge is power!
These shirts are pretty cute...

This is the manifesto that I pulled off of the Stand Up To Cancer website...

We used to have such crazy dreams.
The kind of dreams that brought us together,
made us not mere mortals,
but a movement.
We used to dream we'd get to the moon.
And we were crazy enough,
fanatical enough,
relentless enough,
to get there.
We dreamed we'd split the atom.
Make smallpox and polio whispers from forgotten history books.
Make technology infinite, individual. Connect the world.
All the unbelievable and the impossible,
all the can't do and the never will,
we overwhelmed them,
we overpowered them,
we conquered them.
They said no and we,
well,
We said yes.
We stood up.
We stood up and changed the world.
Stand up
when everybody else sits down
Stand up
when it's easier to turn away
Stand up for everyone who can't rise anymore
When the answer seems impossible,
stand up
When the dream is right within our reach,
stand up
When the powerful refuse your call,
stand up
The moment is now and the time has come to stand up.
One out of every two men
One out of every three women
will face these diseases we call cancer.
Our sisters, our brothers, our fathers,
our mothers,our husbands, our wives, our children.
Our very best friends and those we've yet to meet.
One person every minute,
one person in a moment gets lost,
gets stolen,
gets taken away.
We are a tapestry of lives touched and brought together by a terrorist we can actually find.
And in the time it's taken to read this,
three more Americans have died.
Unforgivable.
This is where the end of cancer begins.
When together we become a force unmistakable.
A movement undeniable.
A light that cannot dim.
When we take our wild impossible dreams
And make them possible
Make them true
When together we rise as one
When we stand up
When we Stand Up To Cancer.
