A: Why not?! We think the most obvious answer would be hope for a cure for cancer. However, how we arrived at being so motivated to make a difference and not waiting for others to do all the work, is a far more complex answer. As I stated on the homepage, It appears that we all have been effected by cancer, be it someone we know and love, our own compromised health, or both. Neither of us have had cancer, for that we are grateful, but we have watched people both survive and lose battles to cancer, and during their battles, there is a profound amount of courage to fight that never fails to absolutely amaze us; we are awed by the fortitude of these individuals in our lives. Personally knowing people enduring chemotherapy, and seeing the strength we never knew they possessed in the face of adversity and extreme discomfort of such a disease, is something that made us willing to dedicate ourselves to making a difference. We do not have the intelligence to find a cure, nor do we have the financial means to write you all a check, but we do have our health, and with that we feel we can make a difference!
