Experiment Day 29: Helping Others (The American Cancer Society)

I have just started helping out a friend on something that I am so excited about.  She was able to have a chance to become a leader in a donation opportunity for The American Cancer Society and she has set her goal at $500.  I am helping her try to reach that goal and hopefully even pass it.  It is a opportunity for people to donate money to the organization and in return you can receive daffodils or have some taken to a hospital and they will be put into a room of a patient that is fighting cancer.  I feel like this is an amazing cause and that helping to raise money for those who have cancer and to help maybe find a cure in the future or to help with bills because the treatments for cancer can be very expensive.

This really is a personal subject for me because I have had many family members of mine battle cancer and I have even lost my Grandpa to throat cancer just this year.  I know how hard it can be to see someone you love or a friend or anyone around you have cancer and how it is a tough battle for one to fight, but giving hope and any help that one can give can help to push someone to battle the cancer and become a survivor.  My Aunt Sherrie is a survivor of skin cancer, melanoma and she has had it twice.  I fear for her everyday because we all know that there is a chance that it could come back and we just hope that she is in the clear and that her battle is over and she won't have to fight it again. But I know that sometimes people aren't so lucky, just like my Grandpa and my fiancee's Grandpa, who both lost their lives to cancer.  I hold on to the positive fact that one day cancer won't be such a huge battle or fight and that a cure for all types and forms of cancers can be found.

So I encourage everyone to at least take a look at the website and if you can make a donation.  If you can't it is okay, just please reach out to others who may be in a fight with cancer or who knows someone who is and be a form of hope and strength for them.  I know that The American Cancer Society is an organization who is geared towards helping those with cancer or those who are dealing with it in one form or another, and I hope that with the help from us, that we can make a huge difference in the lives of many.

Then if you want to you can make a donation by clicking on "Get Daffodils" and there are many donation options, but if you don't it is okay and just check out the site and see The American Cancer Society website and see what they do and what their goals are. 

Thank you so much!
