Support for Cancer

Being one of the Cancer Profound, it lightens my heart to hear of creative means people go through to raise money in support of those who need assistance fighting the terrible disease in its hundreds of forms.  Just recently I was made aware of this wonderful website that is raising funds to help those woman who need help getting around or need meals brought in. 
The wonderful part of it is this, the MAN who is putting himself out there is doing so in his wife's honor.  No, she hasn't passed, however she too is one of the profound, having defeated Breast Cancer twice.  The husband dons a pink tutu and takes self portraits of himself in whatever location he decides to travel to. 
The website, http://www.thetutuproject.com/ , tells their whole story.  There will be available soon a book with many of the pictures and the stories of his adventures, as well as other means to donate, or sponsor the event, whose overall goal is to raise 75 thousand dollars. 
It has already managed to raise 8000 bucks and has only been up since March 12th. 
I cannot applaud this man enough to have the courage to perform this deed for his wife.  It is incredible what a family member will do to honor those who are suffering from any of the cancers that we know of.  Mine was in a tumultuous position, and still managed to stay by my side for thirty days in the hospital (except the three days I made her go home for a break only to have her go through more stress at home than anyone should ever have to deal with).  My beautiful wife maintained a strong and fairly stress free look about her, just to keep me calm, put up with my abuse (verbal) and the abuse of those who were close to her all in the name of keeping me safe.  And the terrible summer my daughter had to endure? 
So to hear what this man did, is doing, I know he had to have gone through some terrible times and still comes out on top.  Amazing, as I have said before, those who survive, those who are with their family members who did suffer, we are all profound, and this unselfish act proves it.
