Every Penny Counts

More than 34,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral or pharyngeal cancer this year. It will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing roughly 1 person per hour, 24 hours per day. Of those 34,000 newly diagnosed individuals, only half will be alive in 5 years. This is a number which has not significantly improved in decades. The death rate for oral cancer is higher than that of cancers which we hear about routinely such as cervical cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, laryngeal cancer, cancer of the testes, endocrine system cancers such as thyroid, or skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

I would like to challenge everyone to help out the Oral Cancer Foundation! Imagine changing the world without changing your routine. Did you know that you could help raise money just but searching the Internet? I know everyone has their favorite search engine, but why not try GOODSEARCH.COM first. It is powered by Yahoo!!! Go to the website and under the who do you search for section type in Oral. Then in the box look for Oral Cancer Foundation (Newport Beach, CA) Once you select it you can use this page to search for anything. Every time you search for something a penny is donated to that cause!!! You can even check how much money has been raised!!! Even when I know the address and would normally just type it in, I go to goodsearch.com and search for just for that penny! I know that if we get the word out we can raise a lot of money!! The people on the forums didn't even know about this and I recommended that they put the Oral Cancer Foundation on the list to receive donations!

I have made it my homepage to make it easier
