Hi friends, at the start of this year I made a promise to myself that I will make a difference to this world. One of the ways I decided to do was to start donating to this organization called Stand Up To Cancer.

I will be celebrating my 25th birthday on September 6 and this year I am asking everyone to give something to this cause. You would all make me the happiest girl in the world. No amount is too small, everything will be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I have lost important people in my life because of cancer. And I believe one way or the other most of us have been touched by this horrible disease. Let’s start now and stand up to cancer.

Thank you so much,

Elaine

One out of every two men and one out of every three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, meaning everyone is affected in some way, or will be.

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is a charitable program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) established by media, entertainment and philanthropic leaders who have been affected by cancer. SU2C aims to raise significant funds for translational cancer research through online and televised efforts. The Stand Up To Cancer initiative aims to raise awareness and bring about an understanding that everyone is connected by cancer. Check out the video on the left to learn more.

Each dollar counts, the more you donate the bigger the chance we have of putting an end to cancer once and for all. If you want to help in an even bigger way, join my project team and then spread the word to all of your friends and family asking for their support.

Please help support Stand Up To Cancer and its efforts to raise awareness. When you donate, you join the millions who have helped fund:
- SU2C Dream Teams focusing on research to accelerate new treatments for patients
- Innovative, out-of-the-box research grants for underfunded young scientists
- The creation of a movement to make curing cancer a first-tier issue

Thanks,
Paul
