Stand up to CANCER!!!

Cancer... every one knows about this deadly disease which does not have a cure.Little did I know that every 60 seconds somewhere someone dies of this disease, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women get affected.I was seeing this programme called stand up to cancer which was organised by 3 television networks here in US.They are not promoting to prevent the disease but rather this one was focussed in funding the research teams to find a cure of this disease."Do you know how it feels to walk on a bed of thorns?? Thats how you feel when you get cancer" I was touched by these words and this was how I was introduced to the suffering which millions of cancer patients undergo every second of their life, I was able to relate to the pain of actually walking on thorns and started my repeated donation to cancerindia.org which mainly focusses on Indian children.We as adults can withstand any amount of pain but how about a new born or a 1 month old baby or 1 year old kid who just steps into the world??.My mom could not bear me suffering from a common cold 1 day.She atleast calls 3 times to check on how I am doing? Hats off to the patients, near and dear ones who actually support them in every possible way and fight against this deadly one and survive it.We(my husband n I) donated for this generous cause and I think thats the most humble way we can give a helping hand to those who actually are fighting this disease in reality. If you all think you do want to help please donate through this website:https://www.standup2cancer.org/Default.aspx as its NEVER TOO LATE!!!
