Over the past many years, I have been affected by many people around me that have been diagnosed, survived, and some who have passed, with Cancer. I recently joined the group Stand Up to Cancer and I urge you to as well. I'm doing this for family like my Grandmother (Bea Katz) who fought Breast Cancer, My Great Uncle (Morty Katz) who had Prostate Cancer, as well did Jack's namesake, Jack Katz (my Grandfather) and both lost the battle, and Jessica (my first cousin via my estranged Uncle Steve), who survived Brain Cancer during her teenage years. The Fish Family who unfairly had three members of their family inflicted with Cancer, and two losing the battle. My friend's parents: such as, Mrs. Baron and Mrs. Bareford. I'm sure like me, you know many as well. Join the fight and let others know you're doing it for them!
Right now you can Launch a Star! The Constellation is a tribute space to honor anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis.
For a donation of $1 or more, you can add a star to the Constellation in the name of someone you love: a family member, a co-worker, a friend. Visit the site for more info.
On Friday evening, September 5, 2008, the networks will donate one hour of primetime for a history-making interactive television special, uniting the nation as we Stand Up To Cancer, including:
Performances by legendary recording artists.
Over 50 of the biggest names in TV, film, sports and music will participate in the live phone bank, answering calls from viewers who want to donate. Stand Up To Cancer plans to auction celebrity video chats where viewers will have the opportunity to chat in real time with film and television stars.
Segments on cutting-edge research -- likely to be reported by network news anchors Katie Couric, Charles Gibson, and Brian Williams -- will include intimate dialogue with the renowned scientists who are making the big, potentially life-saving discoveries.
Celebrity performances and participation in special live and filmed pieces designed to educate, inspire and entertain.
