Declaring Victory & Douibling Down
Today was LAUNCH Day. Dragons were fought (and some are still breathing fire), but one of our 2 "New Idea" Cure Cancer Websites launched:
CureCancerStore.org - shopt to cure cancer.
http://www.curecancerstore.org
Our other BIG IDEA CureCancerStarter.org (crowdfunding cancer research) looks like a Wednesday launch (fingers crossed and knocking on table as I write that).
Tar Heel Traveler Segment Tuesday Night
WRAL, our excelent CBS affiliate is running a sgement on a crazy man willing to sell his house and pocession to help cure cancer (that would be me :). tomorrow night. Scotty Mason, The Tar Hell Traveler may be the best visual storyteller I know so can't wait to see how he explains all of this (lol).
Haven't slept much in the last three days, so going to head home, write a Cure Cancer Buzz Team Brief (http://storyofcancer.org/cure-cancer-buzz-team/ ) and go to sleep.
THANKS to everyone who made this day possible. I will thank you better tomorrow when I have some more gas :). Marty
I believe in sacrifice. For the last year I've put everything into the completion of what I now think of as my triptych:
* Martin's Ride To Cure Cancer (bicycle ride across America Summer of 2010).
* StoryofCancerStore.org - shop to cure cancer http://www.curecancerstore.org
* CureCancerStarter.org - corwdfunding cancer research (http://www.curecancerstarter.org) should launch on Monday 10.14 if the creeks don't rise.
We celebrated last week with an amazing Google+ Hangout on Air and then an invisible hand tried to strangle me last night. The post explains how life should never be taken for granted and tiny things (like flu shots) can create BIG impacts.
The lesson no to hidden in the story of how an asthma attack almost killed me is don't let your life become so out of balance that such a dramatic reminder is required.
I believe in the sacrifice too, but sacrificing yourself for the dream your building is moot and a bit goofystupid (says the man who almost died last night from letting his life get out of balance :).
So do as I SAY not as I DO :).
