StandUp2Cancer

Readers,

Many, if not all of you, know of my battle with cancer from 2003-2004. Many of you also have family, friends and coworkers that have been affected by cancer -- and some of you, like me, are also a Survivor. I'm donating and feel that Survivors owe it to themselves to fight back beyond the physical toll by helping make this the beginning of the end of cancer so others never have to go through the same thing we have.

For those of you that haven't heard, the StandUp2Cancer organization is having a ground-breaking telethon on September 5th @ 8PM Eastern / 7PM Central. What channel? Oh, ABC, NBC, and CBS! (See the awesome advertisement for it here.) All three major networks have donated commercial-free time to SU2C for this incredible opportunity. This initiative is to raise more money then ever before to be distributed directly to cures for cancer. Also, calls will be answered by celebrities: Casey Affleck, Dana Delany, America Ferrera, Danica Patrick, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston, Fran Drescher, Sally Field, Christina Ricci, Goran Visnjic, Christina Applegate [recently diagnosed], Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Charlie Gibson, Robin Roberts, Forest Whitaker, Lance Armstrong, Kirsten Dunst, Neil Patrick Harris, Homer & Marge Simpson, Brian Wiliams, Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Edwards, Salma Hayek, David Cook, Elle Fanning, Scarlett Johansson, Meryl Streep, Katie Couric, Jon Favreau, Masi Oka, and Hilary Swank are all confirmed -- with more signing up.

I realize that I have asked several of you before for your support, but it's needed now more than ever. You can be a part of history -- and affect the lives of millions. How? Donate. $1, $20, $50, $100, $More -- anything you can do! You can donate in more ways than ever.

Lifehouse's Everything Skit

My brother recently shared this video with me and it is truly one of the most amazing skits I've seen performed. I hope you all enjoy it!

Jameson's Joy

Friends and visitors, I will be walking in my nephew Jameson's memory. He was born with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and lived 18 joy-filled months. The American Heart Association is hugely responsible for the research that helped Jameson in his fight against heart disease. As most of you know, Jameson lost his fight March 28, 2003, but with your help we can continue the battle. Because of the American Heart Association and research, more and more children with heart disease are being saved every day. Please help me support the wonderful work of the American Heart Association. You can help me reach my goal by making a donation online. Click on the link below and you will be taken to my personal donation page where you can make a secure online credit card donation. The American Heart Association's online fundraising website has a minimum donation amount of $25.00. If you prefer to donate less, you can do so by sending a check directly to me. Your donation will help fight our nation's No. 1 and No. 3 killers—heart disease and stroke. You are making a difference. Thank you for your support.
