Cancer... Do you care enough?


I don't care how many times you may have seen or heard of Zach Sobiech, it's not enough, you have to see it again, you have to share it, you have to get the world’s attention over and over and over.  There are so many out there who suffer from one form or another of cancer.  So many who do not get the attention that Zach or others have gotten in the media and on the web.    I feel like I can't say or do enough to get YOUR attention.  

If you do anything... anything at all... SHARE THIS... not because I am writing it, not because it's just another post about cancer, share it because it CAN make a difference!  So that one more person can care, one more person can help, one more person can share with someone else and make a difference.

Do you have the funds to buy a burger and fries?  Do you have enough money for a movie?  Have you bought a latte' or Frappuccino at Starbucks lately.  Think of that amount, think of those specific dollars and how just that $6 or so could make a difference in the fight for cancer.  DO you think ... "$6 is not much"... well you are WRONG... very wrong.  Because your $6, my $6, your best friends $6, you brother or sisters $6, your FaceBook friends, Twitter friends etc.... all those $6 add up and combined with every other dollar that is donated or given, you help one more child, one more teenager have a chance to fight this battle.  You help one more family be able to be with their child in that fight.  

To face death is a scary thing, to think... "I might die" is hard enough.  I've been there, I was lucky, my tumor was benign, but it still changed my life and how I see the world around me.   But to KNOW you are actually going to die, to face each day knowing it may be your last, and still go out there with a smile, still touching the lives of everyone around you with your laugh... that is truly courageous.  

This young man, Zach Sobiech, has done so much more than that, he's touching so many more lives than just friends and family.  AND hopefully he will touch yours as well.  I hope that you have taken the time to read this all the way through, I hope you have considered every word that I have taken the time to write.  I hope that you take the time to do soooo much more.  There is a link below to learn more about his story. 

Oh and remember that $6 I mentioned before, Well...  
Zach Sobiech has written several songs as he faces his own demise, as he spends his last moments showing the world you can make a difference.  You can purchase his CD and a portion of the proceeds will will benefit the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund.
