Cancer can strike anyone. It does not discriminate. It is all inclusive of race, age, and gender.
This insidious disease has struck my family many times over. I stand up for my family, those who are still with us (and fighting) and those who lost the battle. I stand up for my children, who have seen loved ones face this disease head on. I stand for my husband, who has watched beloved family members and dear friends crumble under the debilitating effects of cancer and its treatments. I stand for my father, who was diagnosed with cancer in the 1970s and again with prostrate cancer in 2003, who is still standing strong. I stand for the millions of men, women, and children who have been struck by cancer.
We will find a cure for cancer. Of that I have no doubt. The only question is how quickly we find that cure.
Please, be a part of the cure. Donate so that it can sooner rather than later!

This is lovely Marie. I think almost everyone knows someone or has someone who is suffering through this disease.
Each day prayer requests come from my church to pray for members. It’s really heart breaking.
I too stand.
