Many of us have been touched in some way by Cancer. According to the American Cancer Society’s 2008 Cancer Facts sheet, there were 1,437,180 new Cancer cases diagnosed in 2008 and it took the lives of 565,650 people – and that’s just in the United States. Nearly 8 Million people worldwide died from cancer in 2007. In “developed” nations cancer is second only to heart disease in it’s mortality rate.

My Cancer connection

My fiancée wife, Sherry lost her Dad to cancer just a few years ago, and today her Mom is battling it. A battle she will probably lose. lost her Mom in May, 2009. We have lost neighbors, long-time family friends and coworkers over the years. My Aunt and her husband have both been diagnosed with Cancer, and sadly it does not look good for them.

Relay for Life

Here is an opportunity for you to help put an end to this tragic disease. My 7 year old, soon-to-be nephew (Colton Sutton) is participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life with the rest of his classmates in the Frost ISD. This kid is quite a trooper, born premature with a variety of life threatening issues and more than his fair share of bad luck – Colton has already spent more time in hospitals and has more surgical scars than many people will in a lifetime. He is living proof that miracles can happen. Your donation can help make more miracles happen.

Pull out your checkbook and start writing, every donation helps. If that warm & fuzzy feeling you get from donating to a great cause is not enough, I’ll be randomly selecting the name of someone that sends a check sponsoring Colton, they will receive a free Down & Dirty SEO Site Review – a $249 value.
