Want to help fight cancer? Have twitter? Its easy!
9 years ago
I'm sure you're all tired of this by now but the deadline is getting closer.
My story:
After the Vietnam war, three heart attacks, and 40 years of smoking, I'd never had guessed it would be pancreatic cancer that would kill my father. I remember walking around with him at the hospital pushing his IV, he was telling me about being responsible with credit cards, being a good dad. I remember when the doctor said he was going to be alright. I remember when I found out he wasn't going to be alright. I remember bandaging up his hand after he fell because the pain killers made him dizzy. I remember picking him up in the hallway of the middle of the night because he kept falling. I remember when we had to put him in a hospice because we couldn't take care of him anymore. Finally, I remember him with his eyes rolled back in his bed making choking noises as he struggled to breathe on his death bed.
What am I doing?
In attempt to spread the word and hopefully get donations: For every retweet this post gets in the next 36 hours I will donate 4$ to my relay for life team Furries for a Cure! Up to a maximum of $100!
What can you do?
If you have twitter go to this link: https://twitter.com/Sikuwolfy/statu.....62524297011200 and retweet! Its that easy!
You can also drop in donations of your own at: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/siku
Any amount of money helps! Even seeing just $1 dollar come in will mean the world to me! The deadline is coming up soon with the event starting this Friday April 15th.
Booster journals are also appreciated!
Why do it?
With each dollar we raise we'll reduce that chances that your parent/sibling/relative won't have to go out like my dad did. The pain is awful and I don't want anyone else to have to go through it. I've seen the fandom raise 1000$ in 10 minutes at closing ceremonies, surely we can find a few dollars today!
Thank you for your consideration

I understand the difficulty of getting others to understand what it's like to lose someone to this terrible disease. For some reason, the shock factor works.
I'll see you on Friday at Relay!!
