Recently I
watched the tv special called "Stand Up to Cancer",
which is all about this wonderful organization that has
initiated an entirely new approach towards the research
for cancer cures. Instead of having scientists isolated
in their labs all over the world, competing to find the
way to tackle this disease, Stand Up to Cancer brings
them together, has them working together and sharing their
findings, their failures, their successes. That way, time
is not wasted trying the same thing over and over, and
each successful step is added to another successful step...
bringing us closer to cures and vaccines!
The results
have been wonderful. They started in 2008, and already
they have made huge strides in the cure of certain types
of cancer.
UPDATE:

All money donated
to this project goes directly to funding this research.
Therefore,
I have started a fundraising team. It is called Team
KarTattooz.com

is how it works
You go to the
standup2cancer.org website, and go to Team
KarTattooz.com
For every
$10 that you donate to StandUp2Cancer, we at Kartattooz
will send you free of charge a 4" pink ribbon decal!
Up to a maximum of 20 decals per donation.
To
claim your free ribbon(s)
1.
E-mail/forward a copy of your donation receipt from standup2cancer.org
to su2c@kartattooz.com
2.
Make sure you add your complete mailing address to the
email, so we know where to send the ribbon(s)

In addition
to rewarding YOU for donating to standup2cancer.org by
sending a free pink ribbon , we will also donate 20%
of the actual cost of any pink ribbon purchased from KarTattooz.com.
In any month that the 20% of your ribbon purchases does
not reach $10, we donate $10.
We keep a
list posted (updated weekly) online of what orders had
ribbons in them, how much those cost, and how much is
being donated. We will submit a check monthly to standup2cancer.org
for whatever the total is.
This program
was started in October 2010...help us fight cancer and
meet our goal!
