First off, this is a work-related post so I apologize, but I felt the message was important enough for the EoT audience.
Cancer is a nasty thing. I have never had anyone in my family die or suffer from it. And, as a dad of two girls and happily married, I’m scared to death of breast cancer. I’d rather suffer before anyone of my girls gets sick. Despite not having a close personal experience with cancer, I did have a former colleague of mine pass away a few shorts months ago because of the big C. It doesn’t discriminate. It just kills and we need to stop it.
With that said, my request to you is is simple: For those of you on Twitter, please ReTweet a message from the @theonehundred Twitter account that includes the #TweetForACure hashtag, and $1 goes to cancer research.
Copy and paste one of the options below into your Twitter status to ReTweet:
Join #TweetforaCure! For every RT, MGH’s @theonehundred receives $1 for cancer research. Please RT!
Please RT! Support MGH’s @theonehundred; every RT provides a $1 donation to cancer research, at no cost to you! #TweetforaCure
See how one person can make a difference against cancer. Every RT means $1 more for research. #TweetforaCure #the100
The Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center receives $1 for every unique ReTweet from May 5 until June 2, 2010. Each Tweet from an individual Twitter user means a larger donation for the MGH Cancer Center and represents a micro-donation from Digitas, a supporter of the one hundred.
Show your support by following @theonehundred on Twitter and ReTweeting to donate $1 to cancer research, at no cost to you. Of course, if you want to donate more, you can give a little (or a lot) right through Facebook.
That’s all you gotta do. Thanks for helping.
As a 5-year cancer survivor this year…thanks Don. Great cause and I hope everyone does their part.
Congrats on beating the beast back with a stick Scotty boy. I appreciate the RT help.
