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

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
