Stand up to Cancer – September 5

Thanks to Karen at Pink Ribbon Review for reminding me about the September 5th event, Stand up to Cancer. On Sept. 5, 2008 (EST), stars from film, television, sports, journalism and music will come together in an unprecedented evening of philanthropy. NBC, ABC and CBS are each donating one hour of simultaneous, commercial-free prime-time for Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) — a nationally televised fundraising event.

Cancer pain is often not treated properly either because the patients will not admit the pain or are fearful of being too drugged up, or the the treating physicians are not in tune with how to treat cancer pain.

You can read about stars who are participating, such as Jennifer Aniston, Kirstin Dunst, Josh Brolin, and Danika Patrick, over at Pink Ribbon Review: Stand Up To Cancer: One Week From Tonight.
