David Cook, Meryll Streep, Charlize Theron and sports hero Lance Armstrong are among those who pledged to help bust the big C in the upcoming TV fundraiser, called " Stand Up To Cancer".
The show will air commercial-free simultaneously on 3 US TV networks: ABC, CBS, NBC on primetime which is rare on television history.
Being a cancer patient myself, I am happy that influential people are taking part in important causes such as this.
Almost everyone today knows someone inflicted with cancer that it becomes a personal battle to hep find ways of stopping it. It is no longer limited to people with genetic predispositions. Anyone can be afflicted with it. It is not only a physically and emotionally distressing disease but financially draining, as well. So please, if you can find ways to help, please do.
Other celebrities expected to appear are Jennifer Aniston, Salma Hayek and Sally Field. Mark your calendars on September 5, 2008, 8 PM.
