Kermzy Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Maybe I'm being a little selfish on this one but definitely Cancer research!!! My dad was recently diagnosed w/colon cancer and just soooo many other people in this world suffer the affects of it. Whether it be the disease themselves or their loved ones who have to sit by and just feel totally helpless. I hate the word! It's evil!!! Watching my father go through this has been the toughest thing I've ever had to do. Not to mention the toughest thing HE has had to do, and he raised 6 kids! And if all I can do is contribute to charity or attend a benefit, then that's what I'm going to do.July 21st of this year was also the year anniversary of a friend of mine's passing. She was only 27 years old and she died from Hodgkin's, what kind of shit is that? There has to be a cure somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmenio Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 I would definitely attend, I would agree with Cancer Research as well, I have quite a few friends who's fathers have cancer and my cousin died from Cancer when I was 2 years old, this seems to be something that needs to be researched more cause it's becoming way to common.

ninadd Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 Originally posted by stephanie74 AIDS can be prevented..cancer cant....sorry calebb I was going to say the same thing. In most cases AIDS can be prevented and brought on yourself, except for extreme cases. Cancer is a huge epedemic that is not preventable - so def. cancer researchMy second choice would be volunteer fire and ambul. for people who put their lives out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtav13 Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I choose Cancer too, because my mom had breast cancer and now she has ovarian....set it up KOSTA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebb Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Look, I'm not downplaying the s*****ty of cancer. Ok, but AIDS is contagious and of course we know cancer is not. And this is all the more reason to do as much as possible to contain it. Also, you cannot actually "prevent" yourself from AIDS either. Unless you're willing to abstain from sex and of course somehow safeguard yourself from the countless other ways of getting infected. It doesn't matter either way, both diseases are obviously worthy.

How do you figure - AIDS is preventable by using a condom except for cases of rape or blood tranfusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebb Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Originally posted by ninadd How do you figure - AIDS is preventable by using a condom except for cases of rape or blood tranfusion Oh, because a condom is 100% safe, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninadd Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Originally posted by calebb Oh, because a condom is 100% safe, right? no your right but most people who contract AIDS is from unprotective sex. Like I said there are extreme cases which would include a condom breaking or whatever. It's just alot more preventive then cancer- actually you cannot prevent cancer.

There are many more ways of contracting HIV than through sexual intercourse. And there are some ways to protect yourself from cancer.

karch Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I chose cancer since it hits more close to home for me, but AIDS/HIV would be a close 2nd. Calebb is right, there is a huge AIDS epidemic going on in the world right now. Number 1 a whole continent is being ravaged by it. It's hard to understand why. A lot of people say, "well it's preventable, if you don't wanna get it, you could not get it." But the thing is Africa is a different society in which the people there are more susceptable in getting AIDS. It's hard for almost all of us to understand because we didn't grow up in that soceity. And 2nd, AIDS is a big problem here in the US. MAybe we aren't dropping like flys from AIDS, but it's just as devastating to inviduals and families as much as any other desease weather or not, (and I quote this) "it's preventable."

cynstam21 Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Type II Diabetes is a growing epidemic that not to many people know about until it affects someone close to then and by then it's too late. The sad part is it affects mostly children. Although it is preventable, not to many are aware of this issue, so the Diabetes Foundation gets my vote. It's a real shame that the people on board is so immature, they are causing drama on a serious thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
