Breast cancer has turned our lives inside out and upside down many times. It’s impacted the lives of our families and friends. With the Super Bowl as a backdrop, we are working with the Super Cure to help raise money for the important work of “characterizing” the tissue at the Indianapolis based Komen Tissue Bank. This characterization is the scientific process of unlocking the treasure of knowledge stored within the tissue. The secrets of the tissue are the clues to a cure.
Bev and I are matching the first $10,000 we raise with $10,000 of our own – this basically doubles your donation!
Why the Komen Tissue Bank? Well, we have spoken to many cancer docs and researchers who explained the value of “normal” tissue samples. They need to see both healthy and cancerous tissue to examine what changed and what happened to the tissue. Bev and I truly believe that this Bank may hold a cure for breast cancer.
Specifically, your donation will go towards the cost of analysis required for each tissue sample.
How You Can Help – It’s Not Always About the $$
Spread the Word about the Komen Tissue Bank and why it’s important
Volunteer Your Time at a tissue collection event
Donate your own healthy tissue
Donate to the Super Cure and let Matt and Bev match your donation!
On behalf of Bright Ideas, the many women afflicted – and the many more who may suffer through cancer treatment – we thank you for your time, energy and support!
