First of our 2 New Idea Websites launched today
CureCancerStore.org (http://www.curecancerstore.org ) where you can "shop to cure cancer" went LIVE today with several innovative ideas including:
* Cure Cancer Varsity Jacket - a way for cancer patients, their friends and family to recreate the feeling of solidarity cancer patients feel when sitting in a chemotherapy ward. Cool and customizable this jacket is based on a Varsity Letterman's jacket Marty's wore at Central Junior High in Greenwich, CT a lifetime ago.
* Become a Cancer-preneur - if you are willing to give profits to help cure cancer WE will build an online store for you. Great way to create awareness and LOVE for your Etsy.com store.
* Cure Shirts, Caps and Socks - we love the word CURE and are ALL IN to help cure cancer in our lifetime (all profits go to Story of Cancer Foundation our 501c3 funding the NEW CANCER RESEARCH REVOLUTION).
The linked post is my exhausted #startup #journal for LAUNCH DAY (today) when we launched one of the two websites we are working so hard on. CureCancerStarter, crowdfunding cancer research, is set to launch Wednesday and Raleigh's WRAL (CBS) will run a piece about Marty and Cure Cancer Starter tomorrow night.
We still need great BUZZ TEAM members. Pleas join perhaps the coolest group of Internet marketers and tools ever assembled :).

Scoop.it!
My Favorite part of a THANK YOU NOTE I wrote this morning as we launch CureCancerStarter.org into the world:
"After sixty days of riding a bicycle 3,300 miles during Martin's Ride To Cure Cancer we saw the ocean and a large BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) was struck from my bucket list. Today feels like we've arrived in Colorado. Colorado is where Martin's Ride RUBBER met ROAD, where everything we ARE or ever WILL BE was tested. When we reached Colorado I rode with my sister Caroline in a land so beautiful and challenging everything seemed right, true and real.
CureCancerStarter.org feels right, true and real too. Creating a view behind the cancer research curtain is fascinating, wonderful and empowering. POWER is something every cancer patient understands perhaps better than anyone. When I was diagnosed power felt stolen and my life force dimmed. Cancer was driving my life suddenly and in directions that only the Big C could understand.
If I could visit CureCancerStarter.org that day, the day I heard "cancer" and my name in the same sentence, the news may have felt a little less devastating. When a doctor tells you about your fate you feel like an iron curtain comes down isolating you from every other human, isolating you from family and friends. You are never more alone than in that moment.
CureCancreStarter.org is here to say NO CANCER PATIENT is ever alone."
Thanks to all of my Scoop.it friends, teachers and coaches. Couldn't have gotten HERE without your help, love and support.
