A War Everyone Can Support, Regardless of Their Politics

Blogger GM Roper is searching for recruits for a very special army and I am proud to volunteer my services to the cause. He writes:

Help Fight Cancer, Join the Army of Bloggers 

Cancer is no respecter of race, religion, social status, income or profession. It is an insidious disease that robs people of a quality of life and too often, of life itself. This blog has one purpose, and one purpose only, to enroll as many bloggers in An Army Of Bloggers as possible and to encourage them to make an annual contribution to fighting cancer. The Rules for membership are simple, put the logo and blogroll on your blog, send a donation to a cancer program of any kind and post about it. It would be helpful if you write in the "memo field" of your check the following "Donated By The Army Of Bloggers." Help spread the word, help beat this s.o.b. into the ground. If you are a blogger, join the blogroll and make a donation. Leave a comment too if you would be so kind as to whom you donated to. Please leave the address and name of the charity in your comment (you don't need to name the amount). Please, if everyone helps this disease can eventually be whipped.

This Blog and accompanying Blogroll is dedicated Pamela Roper Clark, my beloved sister who passed away in 1990 from ovarian cancer. By putting the power of the blogosphere to work, we hope to make a citizens push to conquer this dread disease.

George has more to say about his own personal fight with cancer and the thoughts that inspired this terrific idea here.

If you scroll down the sidebar to your right, you will see a growing list of bloggers who are joining in this effort.  I strongly encourage you to as well. And by the way, you don't have to be a blogger to head over there, voice your support and make a donation to a cancer organization of your choice.  Better diagnostic techniques and better treatments are being developed all the time - - your donation to research can really make a difference.  Join up and help fight the war against cancer now.
