One of the most energetuic people I've met on this journey has been Matt LeVeque of Haverton, PA. Matt's innovative website, CancerCreatives, was the very first US based website to offer support for Face the Sun, and for that I will always be grateful.
About Cancer Creatives & Matt LeVeque: Matt is himself a cancer survivor - Thyroid Cancer 1998 - and over the past 8 years he has been increasingly more involved with the cancer community by fundraising, volunteering his time and, most recently, lobbying on Capitol Hill for cancer survivorship rights, funding and action with the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Along the way he has come across various ways different groups raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. The most common are the walks, runs and bike rides. "Everyone has got 'em and everyone has participated- yours included. And not that there is anything wrong with the traditional events, but maybe if we are collectively more creative in raising cancer awareness, fundraising, etc. we might begin to find new and creative ways to be rid of this disease once and for all."
The Cancer Creatives Foundation was created to recognize unique, interesting and off-beat projects that educate and raise awareness towards the fight against cancer. If you have a cancer related project that raises awareness, funds or just because, send it for review and possible inclusion on this site.
