 We have all lost to Cancer. I hate losing and I hate this dreadful disease. To fight back we have to be relentless and this is my way of doing something about it.

My Charity is CRI: 

I carefully selected this charity because I wanted one that used a large percentage of donation dollars to fight Cancer and, more importantly, they are trying to prevent Cancer using Immunotherapy, That's smart and forward looking. 

In baseball/softball we use stats to measure performance will check out CRI's impact player statistics:

In the fiscal year (July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015), CRI committed more than $29.3 mil. in new funds to accelerate cancer immunology research in 14 states, 7 countries, 41 institutions. The awards include:

• 26 postdoctoral fellowships for young scientists who are bringing creative new insights and perspectives to the fields of immunology and tumor immunology
• 13 Clinic and Laboratory Integration Program (CLIP) grants, which provide two years of support for transnational laboratory investigation
• 7 Clinical Strategy Team grants that will fund preclinical research necessary to generate innovative new combination immunotherapy clinical trial concepts
• 4 Clinical Accelerator trial grants, including:
• A phase I/II trial of intratumoral immunotherapy & checkpoint blockade in cancers
• A phase I/II trial of a small molecule inhibitor or a vaccine, in combination with checkpoint blockade, in lung cancer
• A clinical trial of immunotherapy following autologous stem cell therapy in multiple myeloma
• An addendum to the phase I/II trial of an anti-PD-L1 antibody and a novel TLR8 agonist in ovarian cancer

Cancers researched include

• bladder
• brain
• breast
• cervical
• colorectal
• cutaneous
• T cell lymphoma
• head and neck
• kidney
• leukemia
• lung
• lymphoma
• Merkel cell carcinoma
• melanoma
• multiple myeloma
• ovarian
• pancreatic
• prostate
• skin

CRI scientists are shedding light on some of the most important questions in cancer immunology, including:

• the targeting of new immune checkpoints,
• imaging of the tumor immune microenvironment, immunosuppression and its part in the cancer immunity cycle, 
• macrophages and their role in cancer immunotherapy, and 
• the role of the microbiome in cancer development and progression.

Something is being done to Stop Cancer and we are going to help them with this event.

Right Now.
