A Worthwhile Cause
Filed under: InspirationCLICK HERE to contribute to a worthwhile cause and get more education on a very important subject!
Cancer sucks, and that's putting it mildly.
So…let's do something about it!
CLICK HERE to donate to Livestrong, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. They're helping the fight against cancer on MANY levels.
Many of you can't or won't contribute anything today, but even if just 1% of you (millions and millions of Perezcious readers) give something, we can make a difference.
It's a worthwhile cause, our new campaign!

Agreed!!
Your FULL OF causes today, Perez. This is what I mean. You're just doing this to be a JOINER. So sick of people "suddenly finding charity" in their life. You either have this in you or you don't. You're doing this for a reason and I think it stinks to SUDDENLY be someone you're not.
a!
I like that you are using your power for good rather than evil, Perez
Would you consider letting others know about the good and important work being done by the Epilepsy Foundation?
GREAT CAUSE

Fuck Lance Armstong. He bangs underage girls and does too much blow. I live in Austin and it's no secret here he is a piece of crap If you're going to donate to Cancer research, donate to the American Cancer Society. Lance is a joke. Perez, stop trying to save the world and stop with the music suggestions. Stick to drawing jizz doodles on celebrity faces. You're about to jump the shark homey.
I am so sorry, Perez, but I do not know if I can support something with your name on it. If you would have asked me yesterday, I would have jumped at the chance. I have always looked up to you and thought of you as an icon. The whole Patrick Swayze thing really dissappointed me. You pointed your finger at him and basically put him down and embarrassed him. He is dying a painful death and all you can focus on is smoking? I just dont get how that has any significance. I will support cancer causes, but I am unsure at this point if I can support anything with your name on it. Please try to be more understanding that these are Patrick Swayze's last days. Why would you want to make him feel useless right now and embarrass his family? Is it for the sake of "shocking" people? Well, you get props there. You shocked me today.
so worthwile
I'm sure you could find a better charity for cancer than this.
my best friends gmom had cancer and died so ill contribute
perez. you are using blog for good. good for you. finally.
if everybody who looked at this blog donated five dollars….. well i'm not going to do the math but it would be a significant amount!!! do it!!
Thanks for creating interest
My brother has cancer and he's given me the blanket from here for donating WBC and bone marrow. It's a great cause
perez. I love you.
well sort of.
you keep me entertained at work
and i love you for that
I wonder how much space I can take

I think it's very inspirational that you are posting this on your blog! So many people don't care much about these types of things!!!
You're amazing

I give money to cancer charities all except LANCE ARMSTRONG because he is a total prick! He also uses drugs and morally I have issue with that. The guy has an ego bigger than our country.

EXCELLENT CHOICE PEREZ for the cause!!
Next year you should change to another charity, and so on (each year dedicate to a new charity)
If anyone wants to see a very convincing documentary on THC being the cure for cancer, you need to watch "Run From The Cure" on YouTube. The Rick Simpson story. He has PROVEN that hemp oil with THC in it cures cancer. He's cured a couple of people who give their story on the documentary, and other people who had other ailments that were cured. YOU ALL NEED TO WATCH "RUN FROM THE CURE, THE RICK SIMPSON STORY" Google it! YouTube it! Watch it! All the drug companies and pharmaceutical companies wouldn't even LOOK at the people he cured and refused to take him seriously and now Rick Simpson is sitting in jail as of February 8, 2008 to appease the American government. THC IS THE CURE FOR CANCER!
"Cancer Sucks" is trademarked by a group in OK who have all rights to it. I also agree with post number 19. As a cancer survivor I know that smokers don't always get cancer and non smokers can get lung cancer. I like your website, but stick with what you're good at and that is a Perzilious fun site… Really Perez, either ask for advice before jumping into something or stay out of it. xoxo
If you are all searching for a cure for cancer YouTube "Run From the Cure" the Rick Simpson story! KNOW THIS INFORMATION! You or a loved one might need it someday!
when you donate to cancer you are just making the issue worse. When you focus you energy on something you are just fueling it. Even if your evergy is on getting rid of it you are still putting your energy to it. Also the money is just going to the drug companys which again is not going to fix the problem. Insteas we should focus on health and wellness. Plus cancer is a lifestyle issue, if you dump toxins into a lake and all the fish start getting tumors you don't take all the fish out and perform sergery on them, you don't dump drugs into the lake to try and make them better…no you remove the toxins and clean the lake.
WTF are you worried about fat boy? You'll die from @ids long before you get cancer. Hidey Ho Rump Ranger!
I wouldn't be caught dead donating a penny to anything related to lance armstrong's balls
Please don't listen to people who are saying that you can find a better charity than this. What Lance Armstrong does in his personal life holds no bearing on what he does for cancer patients. I am a 25 year old woman with a very rare, non-smoking caused lung cancer that metastasized from my bones. I got my first tumor when I was only 23. I didn't do anything to cause this. Cancer doesn't care how famous you are, how much money you have or what your moral standing is. It doesn't discriminate. Live Strong is an amazing organization with an amazing message. You shouldn't let your opinion of it's founder affect your willingness to help cancer patients, both present and future.
Would be nice if Perez posted something similar for mental illness. People know MUCH more about cancer and much LESS about mental illness. Why do you think there is so much Stigma, people with mental illness deserve more research, donations, etc…It is so sad that the mentally ill get a label like CRAZY or PSYCHO. If people only knew what hell those individuals go through and on top of it, they aren't accepted into society which makes them noncompliant when taking meds. Support the mentally ill as equally as you do the physically ill.
I am so happy to see this on here. I used to work at the LAF. Good for you Perez! Despite what anyone thinks about Lance, the organization does great things.
LiveSTRONG.
Roids cause cancer! He got what he deserved.
I'm doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and also fundraising for research and education for finding a cure - SO if you don't feel like donating to the livestrong foundation - please take a look at my Avon page and donate if you can!!

Thanks Perez! Being a cancer survivor and a member of Lance's Livestrong Team, thank you for putting this out there for your fans to see, read and understand. Cancer is a sad disease that effects so many and every penny to help find a cure is very much appreciated!!
please check this out as well: http://imtooyoungforthis.org/ its a website and foundation devoted to young cancer survivors. I was diagnosed in January of 2007 and after 6 months of chemo am in remission.
i would love to help anyone whose sick in any way i could. but i am now offended by people asking for money.
where is all our money going too?
America is going down the toilet. there is not enough money for schools, roads, bridges, homeless, the list goes on and on.
why do we keep giving?
also, how much more do we have? most of us can't afford grocery's, gas, ect.
our goverment is so awful, they are all a bunch of thives and do not care about the American people yet they live like kings and queens.
we need to speak up, ask where our tax dollars are going to, and stop the corruption in government.
i'm tired, i'm tired of working everyday and getting no where, i can't even afford to get sick.
this country needs to take a stand against our government.
I believe there is and has been a cure for cancer for many years.
They are making millions and millions off of sick people.
Perez,
I thought u were smarter than this. Cancer is easily and very cheaply curable, ive done it, but with the cure comes no more billions of donation dollars, therefore it is illegal. My cancer was cured in 3 weeks at a cost of $300 back in 2004. www.hantang.com. These charities are b.s.
made a donation - thanks for the reminder
Wasn't it just yesterday we were supposed to donate to autism?
While I have no comment about Lance Armstrong's personal life, I can't understand this trend to donate to cancer SURVIVORS. There is so much focus today on breast, testicular and lung cancer, which means a lot more awareness. Testicular cancer is usually 90% curable if it hasn't hit stage 4. What about the cancers that are not so easily curable? My mother died of kidney cancer, which is immune to chemotherapy; seeing her go through miserable experimental treatments before slowly wasting away was horrible. Donate to the cancers that aren't trendy and that people are actually dying of, not the survivors. Survivors mean they live, poor them.
FUCK LANCE ARMSTRONGS CAUSE WHERE WAS HE WHEN HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER?????? OHH THATS RIGHT HE LEFT HER HIGH AND DRY WHEN SHE NEEDED SOMEONE MOST!!!!!!!!! HE WENT THROUGH CANCER HIMSELF AND SHOULD KNOW FIRST HAND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS. I THINK HES A FUCKING BASTARD!!! FUCK LANCE ARMSTRONG AND DONATE TO A REAL CAUSE THE SUSAN G. KOMEN FIND A CURE FOR CANCER FOUNDATION!!!! http://cms.komen.org/komen/index.htm!!!!!!!
Armstrong may raise a lot of money, but he's a known doper in the cycling world…how can someone who has battled and beaten cancer put their life at such risk just to win a race? Sick, if you ask me.
Perez, you should have this as a perma-link on your website! What a great idea!!
I'm curious Perez… How much of YOUR money have YOU donated? I'm just hearing donate your money, donate your money… However, what have YOU donated besides a place to tell people to donate.
Why don't you see a bunch of celebs donating their money?! I mean seriously… I give money to charities. Celebs should donate their money, even moreso! A lot of celebs just speak… Actions speak louder than words.
While I applaud your newly discovered do-gooder-ness, Perez, I agree with some of the posters on this particular point: we should focus on eliminating the causes of cancer (or autism or other disease du jour) not just funnel money into cleaning up the mess made by modern industrial corporations that only care about the bottom line. And by the way, if we had universal health care and funded stem cell research there would be earlier detection and more effective treatment of these illnesses.
WAY TO GO! Thanks for posting this info! LAF does a lot of great stuff for people affected by cancer. Check em out!
I'm so glad to see something serious regarding cancer, and raising awareness. Thanks so much for doing something really great, and not relating it to a celebrity. What a big heart you have…
Re: bad idea –
Damn you are quite the fucktard, aint ya?
Hey Porky Perez, Why are you promoting onoe-nutter Armstrong's foundation? When Sheryl Crow got cancer, she publicly said that he didn;t even so much as call her to offer comfort or condolances. He's an ass.
My Fiance just got diagnosed with Gastric Lymphoma Cancer and Livestrong gives hope to many. He came to visit with a bunch of cancer patients in san diego including my fiance. Every penny, prayer and encouragment helps Thanks to everyone f
Since you're in such a good-doer mood, try raising awareness on mental health. So many people are ignorant on it or oblivious to how prevalent it is. There's just so many common misconceptions. I think you may like To Write Love On Her Arms (www.twloha.com). They've been using musicians from the Warped Tour scene to try and send their message. And we all know how you love music. Check it out.
Wow, people are mean on here…you try to do something nice and all the haters come out of the woodwork because nothing is ever good enough for anyone. jeez.
I am a Hodgkins Lymphoma/cancer survivor of 4 years who was diagnosed when I was only 23. Supporting Livestrong will mean that more people will be survivors of all cancers, we hope! If I had had my cancer 20 years ago I would have died, but because of research and improvements in chemotherapy I have gone into remission and plan to stay there.
Thanks for publicizing a good cause to your millions of fans (and haters, too. but eff them.)
Thank you so much Perez, i have cancer.
the Lance Armstrong Foundation? BIG JOKE! I live in Austin and all of those assholes that work there think they are smarter and better than every other nonprofit in town. they steal ideas from other nonprofits and claim them as their own. the staff is a group of sellouts and brown-nosers and starfuckers. And Lance did 'roids - how do you think he got cancer?
If you want to do something nice for a change, back another charity that is really giving to the people from the inside out.
doing this out of the kindness of your heart, eh? isn't the lance armstrong foundation one of your advertisers?
Re: Foxy –
Thank you! Also balance your PH. Can't believe all the money for research and they won't look at alternative cures! EVIL.
It's refreshing to see someone of our generation speaking out about donating to worthy causes, but there are many other types of cancer out there that need a voice. I am a 25 year old female who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer….and dammit, I want a celebrity to make the world aware of this sh*tty disease! So what better celeb than Perez Hilton himself. What'd ya say Perez? But seriously check out www.abc2.org or www.tugmcgraw.org to contribute.
YOU ARE AMAZING PEREZ! do something for pancreatic cancer
Re: ME – What an amazing post. I could not have said it better myself. You are right on about the mentally ill being left out in the cold. Thank you for pointing that out.
I am suspicious of Lance Armstrong's cancer. I think that I read that testicular cancer is related to some of the doping drugs that Lance supposedly took. I believe that these drugs caused his cancer. I am glad that he is doing well, but I don't think it would be a good idea to donate to his cancer charity. Besides, he dumped Cheryl Crowe when she got cancer. He also dated one of those dim Olsen girls.
Screw Lance, he's an a-hole. He left his wife and extremely young children to go f around after she stood by his ass and took care of him as he went through chemo. He's a horrible human being, and he makes me sick, so SCREW HIM and his stupid Livestrong bullshit! I'll give my money to the American Cancer Society!

Oh yeah, and he left SHERYL CROW when she had CANCER to screw around! Looks like a pattern here. Screw him!
For the love of God, please stop hawking vivisectors' shitty "charities!"
Re: BIG JOKE – "I live in Austin and all of those assholes that work there think they are smarter and better than every other nonprofit in town." Come on. You're just being ignorant and look like a fool for posting something like this. You may not like Lance, but you shouldn't trash the intentions of his staff, volunteers and supporters in the cancer community. Grow up.
My daughter was dxed with an adult leukemia a few years ago until you live through watching your child suffer through chemo and watch kids around you lose their battles with cancer every day you will never understand the need for more funding.
CHRISTA:
first, he hadn't even met his wife yet when he was being treated for cancer
second, Sheryl Crowe didn't find out she had breast cancer until months after they broke up
I just donated 5 bucks. I don't care if people say Lance is a prick…I haven't heard that he has used the money from his foundation for anything but cancer research…so why hold back! If you don't support Lance, then go donate to another cancer charity!
Re: Novel1 –
I hate you with all my heart, Novel.
Donated. Well done Perez!
This is a great cause and glad to see you making more people aware, I would like to see more foundations that help us cancer survivors pay all the medical bills from all the extremely exspensive cancer treatments! It seems that after I made it through all my treatments now the collection companies are pounding down my door wanting there money, which I was NOT making any during my treatments…. how ironic is that one???
Lance Armstrong is a fucking dick. I would never ever give to a charity he is connected to. He is a greedy, cheating, asshole- look at the way he treated his wife, and also look at the way he treated his teammates on the USPS Team..
thank you for using your perez powers for good - together we stand, divided we fall.
yes, please everyone donate. my grandpa has prostate cancer and he's a very important person to me. i try to donate as much as i can at times, but if everyone donates than something good can come of this. help cure my grandpa and millions of others grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, sisters, brothers and whomever is dear to you!
love you perez!
Re: Seriously? – it's apparent that you are on the staff. how transparent.
I love what you are doing!!
i thought i was the only person who thought this guy was an asshole and creep. Seems his reputation is far and wide. Total prick. Left his wife and never spends time with his children except to get publicity. Dumped poor Sheryl as she was going through cancer. Egotistical dick is all he is. He disgraced our country by winning the Tour de France while being full of drugs - asshole - go live in Holland where drugs are legal and you can probably have sex with minors! Who do you think you are and why did our country ever place you on a pedastal, instead or on a toilet!
If all cancer research/charity etc unite, the cure would be found in no time. Unfortunately, that would mean share of profits ie no life changing experiences for anyone involved (except cancer survivors). Instead of supporting one group, let´s get them to join forces and work on cure only, preferably for free.
Re: Novel1 – Jeez Perez….how low can you go? Did you JUST NOW find out about the LiveStrong organization? I AM A CANCER PATIENT (diagnosed July 29, 2006) ….The FIRST thing that came to my mind is that you've been reading Adrianne Curry's MySpace page & Blogs~ Don't act like you don't know about her "otha motha" Kathy! You truly are the bottom of the barrel. You only join causes whenever YOU find it "popular" at the time. You are like Madonna when the British Accent appears! EXCEPT that I love Madonna…You are a jerk!
Re: Swede – testicular cancer is hardly "trendy." if you don't believe me, you can ask my 26 year old brother who was diagnosed at 23 and is slowly, painfully getting worse and worse despite years of chemo and multiple major surgeries. saying one type of cancer is trendy or better or worse than another is absolutely ridiculous.
Perez … I love you … please donate to relay for life http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDivision?pg=personal&fr_id=9226&fr_id=9226&px=3522628
even bigger and farther reaching than Mr. Armstrong, all due respect.

Re: Jackie – I respect your thoughts. However, there are too many juvenile cancer survivors that need answers about the effects of radiation/chemotherapy to focus only on cure. Cancer is going to still occur, just like heart disease, diabetes, MS, MD, Chrones Disease, Lupus, RA, etc. What is most conceivable is prevention, early detection, improved quality of life, caregiver support, advocacy, services, and awareness. Therein lies Survival.
Novel ?? Excuse me WHO do you think YOU are? I hate people who have the kind of attitude you do. I am sure you liketo hear that, but besides that point why don't you learn how to lift people up and not tear them down. Try not to keepthis attitude you have in YOU ok comprende?? I am just gonna stop because people like you NOVEL totally annoy me. Take care of you.
I am a cancer survivor - after 6 surgeries, chemotherapy hell and then radiation. Throughout my diagnosis, battle and treatment - and believe me, it was pure hell - Lance Armstrong served as my inspiration. The Lance Armstrong Foundation provided invaluable support and helpful resources. And most important, hope. For that I am eternally grateful to him. I have been cancer-free now for four years, and remain grateful. Thank you, Perez, for supporting this wonderful organization. And LiveSTRONG! (and God bless you, too)

And one more thing, Lance has never, ever tested positive for drugs. Not once. And he's been tested over, and over, and over again. Believe me, once you've done chemotherapy, you never want anything injected into your veins again. Lance Armstrong is a phenomenal athlete and defeated overwhelming odds to win the Tour de France seven times, fair and square, through plain old hard work and determination.
I guess it's hard for you jerks out there to understand how we cancer survivors feel, though. You haven't been through it. So maybe you should stay out of this conversation and stick to video games and other mindless stuff. Or just bugger off.
