Quote :
"The V Foundation for Cancer Research was started in 1993 to honor Jim Valvano. From very humble beginnings of Jim's personal friends and family, The Foundation grew. Today, that circle of friends has expanded and the support structure of The Foundation includes people of all walks of life, those who knew Jim personally, those who knew of Jim and many who have joined the cause simply because they believe in the possibility of Jim's final wish - to fund research to find cures for cancer.

The V Foundation takes great pride in its fiscal responsibility and is proud to announce that it gives 100 percent of all new direct cash donations to cancer research and related programs. "

shameless plug for the foundation:

if you have a few extra bucks, even $5 or $10, consider donating:

i did!

it is a really good cause and even $5 helps. think if like 1000 people gave $5, ya know?

when i'm done being fat and lazy i want to run a 1/2 marathon or a marathon for cancer research. but for now i just donate money to my friends who do it because they are a lot more motivated than i am to run!
