I fold for my Uncle Mac who died at 29yrs old from Brain Cancer in 1991. He fought hard for 2 years through grueling chemotherapy + medicine. The family greatly misses this fun loving, humorous uncle who always had a smile and a joke for you.

I fold for my 2 month old daughter, hopefully in her lifetime cancer will have a cure.

I fold for my mother. She died horribly from cancer which spread like the plague throughout her body.

I fold for young children so they don't have to witness what I did.

I am sorry to hear about your uncle. That is too young of an age. Hopefully with the help of everyone folding we can learn and find cures for these diseases.

My mom got breast cancer when I was 15. She fought it off for years with chemo. It went into remission then re-appeared in her bone marrow. From there it spread like a wild fire destroying every organ she had. She died in her bedroom. Yellow from jaundice. Suffocating in her oxygen mask. I was right there when she closed her eyes for good. She fought hard. She was a warrior.

Cancer treatment gives you hope but, ultimately, cannot fight the onslaught of this terrible disease. We need to fight it with technology. As hard as we can.

When my Uncle was fighting it, I wanted to do something, anything to help, but I couldnt...this is my way of fighting back.
Indeed. I'm folding for my grandmother.. for the most part, even though I know it can't save her. But maybe other people.

I'm sick of people dying because of this disease, so many...

In memory of MJC: 1938 - 2000

Lost to Spinal Cancer.

"Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again"


-Blackbird

I miss you, Father. Thank you for my life.

I fold for my mother she has Brest Cancer and Bone Cancer and lives 5000 miles away. It makes me feel helpless, Folding is the least I can do to help.

I fold for everyone who has had cancer or any other diseases that hopefully will be curable within the next 10-20 years.

My father died of non-hodgkins lymphoma in 1990, 2 days after my 15th birthday. He underwent experimental treatment and lived in various cancer hospitals for 9 months until it finally could not be controlled any longer.

The owner of the company I presently work for had half of his left lung removed due to lung cancer last year. Last month, cancer was found in his other lung which was then operated on. He has never smoked a day in his life. The guy has been through absolute hell and I take one look at him... and I know F@H is worth my time.
