After 1 Week UNC Lineberger's Fibrocyte Research 45% FUNDED Thanks TO FOMs & Startups

After 1 Week UNC Lineberger's Fibrocyte Research 45% FUNDED Thanks TO FOMs & Startups | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:


Thank You STARTUPS and FOMs (Friends of Martin)
That is me yelling at my doctor in the video image above (lol). Dr. Han van Deventer's Fibrocyte cure cancer research is now 45% funded after only a week on our brand spanking new #startup CureCacnerStarter.org (http://www.curecancerstarter.org).

THANK YOU to my friends who run, are creating or want to create a new startup. Your support, ideas and encouragement is why we got HERE. And HERE is pretty cool

Here is using the web to help cure cancer. It takes COURAGE to step up and use a new idea (bumps and strange things like wiping out your donation choice and moving it back to $5 after you save a creditcard). We are working on the car as we drive it, but to see people who have the courage to STEP UP and do something HERE AND NOW to change the world is inspiring.

There are 4 other great cancer research campaigns on our startup too:

Brain Cancer Vaccine From Roswell Park
https://www.curecancerstarter.org/campaign/roswell-braincancerresearch


Vitamin D & Lung Cancer From Froswell Park
https://www.curecancerstarter.org/campaign/roswell-lungcancerresearch


Creating A Reolution In Colorectal Cancer Care from UW Carbone

https://www.curecancerstarter.org/campaign/personalizing-treatment-for-colorectal-cancers


Saving Generations Of Lives In Malwai UNC Lineberger Cancer Center

https://www.curecancerstarter.org/campaign/treating-cervical-cancer-in-malawi

YES would be how most people would answer this question. If you could change the world in 5 minutes for $50 would you? Hope you will join the brave dragon fighters that have already answered YES.

Thanks to my fellow startups for your support!

BTW, 100% of all CureCancerStarter.org donations go to cancer research. No house money here as we are funding with my Atlantic BT Marketing Director salary and a generous grant from Atlantic BT, best damn website and software developers on earth (or the southeast anyway :). Marty

LAUNCH DAY - CureCancerStore.org Goes LIVE (one down, one to go) | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

Declaring Victory & Douibling Down
Today was LAUNCH Day. Dragons were fought (and some are still breathing fire), but one of our 2 "New Idea" Cure Cancer Websites launched:

CureCancerStore.org - shopt to cure cancer.
http://www.curecancerstore.org

Our other BIG IDEA CureCancerStarter.org (crowdfunding cancer research) looks like a Wednesday launch (fingers crossed and knocking on table as I write that).

Tar Heel Traveler Segment Tuesday Night
WRAL, our excelent CBS affiliate is running a sgement on a crazy man willing to sell his house and pocession to help cure cancer (that would be me :). tomorrow night. Scotty Mason, The Tar Hell Traveler may be the best visual storyteller I know so can't wait to see how he explains all of this (lol).

Haven't slept much in the last three days, so going to head home, write a Cure Cancer Buzz Team Brief (http://storyofcancer.org/cure-cancer-buzz-team/ ) and go to sleep.

THANKS to everyone who made this day possible. I will thank you better tomorrow when I have some more gas :). Marty
