The Challenge
Cancer
Everyone one of us knows someone, or are someone, who has been affected by cancer. Be it a parent, a sibling, a cousin, a friend, or a colleague, nearly everyone knows someone close to them who has cancer. If not, then maybe it is your friend's parent, or aunt, or your best friend's boyfriend. The possibilities are endless.
My challenge is this: List everyone you know who has, or has had, cancer. For each of those people set aside one dollar. Add up your loonies and take them as a donation to your cancer charity or foundation of choice. It isn't a lot of money, but it can make the world of difference.
Here is a list of some of the main charities websites, they will provide information for locations to give the donation.
The Canadian Cancer Foundation: www.cancer.ca
The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation: www.cbcf.org
Lung Cancer: www.lungcancercanada.ca
Ovarian Cancer Alliance: www.ovariancancercanada.ca
If there are any associations that are very meaningful to you, please list them in the comments section.
I will be giving $23 to the Canadian Cancer Foundation.
PLEASE DONATE! even if you are only giving $1 or $2, PLEASE DONATE!
