Stand Up To Cancer • 08.23.08
Hey guys,
I know it has been awhile, but I have some recent news that I want to share with all of you. First off, I am doing great. I am still in remission and everything is going perfectly. As you know, a documentary was made of me by SU2C (Stand Up To Cancer). I am not sure if you guys have been following this website, but it is huge. They have made so many PA’s with famous people to promote SU2C that airs September 5th. Their PA’s have been in the movie theatres and Jessica Biel mentioned the website at the MLB All-Star game. When I was first introduced to SU2C, even I didn’t realize how big this event/organization was going to be. I have my own-featured video, which they posted on their website and then on YouTube to promote the event, and once in awhile it got a few hits but today, Sunday, SU2C made it the featured video on YouTube and it has over 100,000 views and comments! I am totally shocked.
If you don’t already know, they are airing a collaborative show on September 5th 8 p.m. on channels 2, 4 and 7 to raise awareness and money. At the same time, the Kodak theatre will be hosting a star filled event where there will also be a phone bank. I was asked to be a part of this phone bank along with many celebrities. Some of the celebrities include: Jessica Alba, Scarlet Johansson, Jennifer Anniston, Forrest Whitaker, etc. It is pretty insane. I may get a makeup artist, a stylist, and I will be on T.V. answering the phones! I do not even know what to expect, but hopefully I won’t get too star struck. I am still working on a website, because now there are countless groups of people that want my bracelets. I feel honored to be able to make this type of contribution in the fight to end cancer and I hope all of you will join me in watching this incredible event.
Don’t forget to watch the show on September 5th at 8 p.m.!!!!!!
Without all of you, I would have not been able to do half of the things I am doing today.
With love,
Ben
