I’d like to take a moment to interrupt your regularly scheduled program …
Most of you like to think of me as a happy-go-lucky sort of guy. I chuckle and smile a lot when talking Spider-Man, and I generally try to keep things light and friendly. What most of you probably DON’T know is that the lives of my close family members have been hell for the last year plus. You see, breast cancer has struck in my family. TWICE.
As you can see, breast cancer awareness is a cause that hits close to home for me. I’m not asking you to sympathize or even care. What I am asking is that you take a moment to donate to one of the many organizations funding research for a cure. I’ve seen firsthand that progress is being made in medication and treatment of the disease, with experimental medications that are effective at combating that proliferation of cancerous cells and even killing the cancer itself, so rest assured that it IS making a difference. If you can manage to spare a few bucks, there is somebody out there that can and will benefit from it.
You can find information about the disease and advancements in its treatment HERE, and you can find links to donate HERE.

of course we can always prevent cancer, the key is early diagnosis and early treatment ,”:
breast cancer is of course easy to diagnose early and very easy to treat if you catch it early*~:
Cancer has struck my family more than once. Good cause!
My uncle was diagnosed with stomach cancer last year. I support this message. Glad to see it being brought to attention. My prayers are with your family Gerard.
My stepmother is a breast cancer survivor, too. Chances are, at some point in your life, someone you love will be stricken with cancer. If you haven’t donated yet please do, every little bit helps. Maybe one day in our lifetime, we’ll see cancer cured for good.
Thanks, Gerard!
Save the Ta-Tas folks!
@Matt Byrd: C’mon, there’s no need for that. I’m snipping that last part out of your comment.
Hey Gerard,
A few year ago my own mother found out she had Breast Cancer for the sake of wanting to see her grandchildren grow up she decided to have both removed, even though the limn-odes were found in only one breast. So thank you very much for creating this.
