Cancer effects so many people that you are bound to know someone who has it. Its not enough to just say "I want a cure for cancer" or "I know someone who has cancer" you have to take action!

Take Action For This Cause
Relay for Life
Every year there is a program that helps raise money to find a cure and to help those who are diagnosed with cancer. This event is an over night event. You stay up all night and walk a track, someone from your team must be walking at all times. It very fun and there is food and activities. The night of there is a big ceremony to honor those who have passed in your city or county. All the money is then collected and donated.

Lop Your Hair for Wigs for Kids@
The easiest way to help out Wigs for Kids is to lop off your locks! The organization accepts hair that is 12 inches long; clean and dry; and submitted in a plastic bag in a ponytail or braid. Most importantly, the hair cannot be previously colored or permed. "Unfortunately, processed strands of hair become too weak to make into a wig," explains Christine Kett, executive director of Wigs for Kids. If your tresses meet the above requirements, they can be sent to Wigs for Kids, 21330 Carter Ridge Road, Rocky River, OH 44116. If you have questions, call them at (440) 333-4433.
