The DIBB Donates

[JamelUK]

Please spare us a few moments of your time to discuss a serious issue. Each month we seem to be hearing about more and more of our friends & family who are being affected by Cancer.

So here at DIBBCast Towers we've decided to do something about it.

Today, The DIBB & The DIBBCast are launching "The DIBB Donates"

It may not solve the problem. It might not help it go away. But surely, if we all club together, we might make it easier and surely help future generations suffer less.

We're asking you please to make a donation with us to Cancer Research UK.

Cancer Research UK’s work has saved millions of lives in the UK and around the world by finding new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Their work has helped ensure that survival rates in the UK have doubled in the last 40 years and they remain the world’s leading charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Their scientists and doctors have contributed to most of the world’s top cancer drugs and they have pioneered and helped revolutionise the use of radiotherapy to treat cancer from its beginnings over 100 years ago.

We have set up a Just Giving page, and its really very simple.

This text service is FREE and no additional cost is charged by your network provider.
100% of the donation goes to Cancer Research.

All donations will be anonymous.

Spread the word. Share this link with anyone and everyone you know.

The DIBB now has over 47,500 users. Most evenings there's an average of 800 online.

Each day you ask your questions and a huge community willingly shares their knowledge and experiences with you.

Now its time to give something back.

If each one of you just gave up £1, think of the amount of money we could raise.

We don't do this often. We certainly don't want to turn the DIBBCast or theDIBB into a Telefon. But we're putting the tin out on the desk and, if you feel obliged, please put something in it.

Thank you.

Recently lost my FIL to this horrible disease, so I'll be donating.

This is a great idea... cancer is so indiscriminate so anything we can do to help find a cure.

I haven't donated, which I know sounds mean, but I donate monthly through my payroll and my employer matches my donation, it was something I felt I had to do after we lost mum 6 years ago.

Thank you for doing this...I hope you raise lots for this worthy charity.

My cousin's 5yr old girl has a rare form of cancer. She has had 12 months worth of chemo, and removal of the bone it was in. We thought she was ok, but within 8 weeks of her last treatment, nodules have appeared in her lungs. She has to go through more chemo, so any spare prayers or pixie dust, please send them her way.
Awful disease. Cruel and unfair.
Thanks for this thread. xxx
