My stomach hurts when i read about this… Patrick
Dear Perez,
Please stop posting the stupid 10 most emailed posts.
Thanks.
first bitches!!!
FIRST
1ST AHAHAHAH
100th
first
YES§§
first finally!
I lost my Grandfather to Pancreatic Cancer last year. Its so important that we do all we can to find a cure for this. Its absolutely horrible to watch someone go through this, or any type of Cancer for that matter. Even if it is only a dollar, please donate!!!!
What is this? The "charity of the day" website?? This is getting a tad tedious.
What about Breast Cancer??? you've touched everything BUT…

please take a look & donate if you can!
Chill it with the FIRST shit. It doesn't mean anything damnit. And you're never really first, you're more like the 80th person saying first.
What really disturbs me is people like Perez Hilton who just want to jump on the bandwagon whenever a celebrity (let's say like Patrick Swayze)…becomes ill and all of a sudden Perez is all about donating….Just to make him feel good about himself!.. You are a joke, You could give a sh*t about anyone other than a celebrity's disease. Remember how ALL OF A SUDDEN you asked people to donate to the LiveSTRONG campain…HELLO!…that program has been going on for years. I am a Cancer Patient and am personally offended by Perez "joining" the cause. PLEASE you don't give a sh*t about anything but gossip, gossip and koolaid in your hair! Next up you will be adopting 10 children from Africa, Cambodia…etc! Stop being so selfrightious!
My Grandfather was diagnosed one year ago today with pancreatic cancer and passed away a couple days before Thanksgiving. This is a horrible cancer, there is no early detection and 'surviving' is living beyond 5 years…5 years of cancer treatments is not much of a life. Thank you perez, you are doing a wonderful thing…I hope everyone donates!!
Re: Kat – Please forgive my typo's ….I was/am extemely upset about all these FAKE ASS do gooders!!!
I am going to my great grandma's funeral today, she passed away on sunday from pancreatic cancer.
Please help support this cause.
My Dad died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 at 56, just 6 months after he was diagnosed. I just donated $20…
doing good is doing good. just because not all of us have cancer or know about every single charity since its inception makes no difference to whether or not you donate. be greatful for perez supporting charities because every little bit helps!!! the more well-known a charity it is the more donations it will get to HELP people with cancer or those who may have to face it in the future. i think this is a great idea!

RIP grandpa 3.18.06
Just remember that when you give to charity, 85% goes in administrators' deep pockets.
Perez- you are an angel and a lifesaver! The good you can do with your website…amazing!
Don't stop. Ever.
Love you!

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and lost is battle in 2006. While i did have a few years with him after diagnosis its never a pretty site watching your father go from being a strong man full of life to a frail body detatched from life. It f'in sucked. I miss that cowboy.
Well, I'm pretty broke like everyone else, but I sent $9.00 in Patrick Swayze's name. Great cause!
I lost my grandmother to this terrible and progress disease at the beginning of the year. She lived with this cancer for a year before they diagnosed it. Hopefully your post will shed light on this disease and the desperate need for a cure and improvement in its treatment and diagnosis.
Cancer has hit my family…I donated. Thanks for posting links to sites to donate.
I donated $5 in your name Perez! Keep up the good work!
Actually everyone 85% goes directly to helping with Pancreatic Cancer, this charity is amazing and does alot for its patients
And he is not simply "jumping on the bandwagon." I e-mailed Perez a while ago actually (not sure if someone else did as well) asking him to post this on his site.
My grandfather died of Pancreatic Cancer 4 years ago, and my mother was diagnosed in October and has no more than a couple of years. The strain of the cancer in our family is genetic and so it is possible I will get it as well. This is something very close to my family so thanks so much to everyone for donating!! and ThANKS PEREZ for posting this!
Regarding the person who asked about breast cancer… no offense, but more than enough is being done about breast cancer… which CAN be detected. Pancreatic Cancer has NO early detection strategy. Breat cancer is so fucking overdone and over commercialized it's ridiculous. No offense to anyone who is affected by BC, but the pink ribbon movement is just a tad over done… and barely ANY progress has been made on that disease in the last 5-10 years anyway. It's time we start looking to ALL cancers equally.
And please, don't wish breast cancer on me. It's already in my family. I just know a "scam" when I see one. Everytime I see a pink ribbon I roll my eyes… more women die of heart disease in a fucking day than BC in a fucking half year… more women die of lung cancer… and there are more skin cancers diagnosed annually than breast cancers.
It's time for the breast cancer parade to take a break so all the other diseases can get their due.
So…what are the drug companies kicking you back for this shit, Perez? Dont they make enough money? Just think of all the billions they would lose if they actually DID cure anything! All the free money GONE!!! WAKE THE FREAK UP, PEOPLE.
Thank you for supporting so many charities and great causes lately. I hope with all my heart that you will continue to do this regularly. Your site gets so much traffic and you know that it can mean big things for all the causes. Gracias, lindo!
hey perez, its so fierce that u found a way to use your fame for good causes! keep it up!
Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the US and not enough people know about it! Thank you to perezhilton for posting this link.
this is sweet of you perez [:
It makes me angry that people only care when someone famous is diagnosed with a disease, at the same time thank you Perez for putting the word out there about Pancreatic Cancer. My dad was diagnosed in June 2007 and passed away in January. This is a brutal disease and not enough funding is going towards it. Before being diagnosed my dad was the picture of health, 50 years old, never smoked or drank. He became sick in April of 2007 and was misdiagnosed by several doctors in 3 different top-notched hospitals before the 4th doctor diagnosed him. Early detection is the key, when Pancreatic Cancer is found in the 4th stage unfortunately it is too late.
Donating to a good feels good
Just a thought… I can't help but think these posts would be a bit more effective if you wrote ABOUT the charity in the post? I mean, that way people who normally wouldn't click the link, can read what it's all about and then more likely donate. Just an idea
Of course he's not going to write about the charity, it's a clickable link, meaning perez gets paid when you click on it. Same goes with those most emailed list crap. Anytime click on a link on anyone's page, they get paid. Google ads and such are everywhere folks. If you want to read something, right click and say open in a new window.

clicking on pancan.org will not make perez any money. he is doing this because something needs to be done to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer and funding for research…thank you perez!
I hope Perez comes up with some plan to have him match all the donations that his blog readers donate because he's become so rich and famous thanks to all of us supporting him that he needs to do more than just give some free blog space to a worth cause. When will PEREZ donate his money??
Check out this one…

So, Perez how much have you donated to this cause??????? It's nice that you say you believe in it and post it. But put your money where your mouth is, and donate something substantial!
Perez- most of us are upside down in our mortgages, worried about losing our jobs, homes, etc.- not all of us are pulling in $50k A DAY from a website (not to mention tv shows, music deals, etc.) so we don't HAVE all this disposable income to donate to ' good causes '. Moron.
Re: Amy – Amy, you're a stupid bitch. He didn't say you HAD to donate your money. He is putting it out there for OTHER people who are ABLE to donate. And a simple donation can be a dollar. Nothing extreme. MORON.
