| gotCancer.org is an
organization whose primary goal is to put a smile on
the faces of those in the fight against cancer. We believe that humor is
good medicine and we plan on spreading it around. The ability to laugh is the
ability to feel strong and to forget about cancer for a moment.
For a person fighting cancer, that's like a moment of
being virtually cancer free. Think about what that
is worth. Think about how valuable, yet simple that
can be. This website is a portal to our store of exclusive gotCancer.org products, ranging from hats and t-shirts to coffee mugs and mouse pads. Just don't look for the usual ribbon-embossed stuff here. There's plenty of that to be found elsewhere. Instead, our products are designed with a little attitude, a lot of humor and a touch of inspiration! We don't just cater to the patients and survivors either. We have products for the entire cancer community, including friends, families, doctors and nurses; anyone who is a part of the fight against cancer. All of gotCancer.org's net profits are donated to various cancer based support organizations that provide patient support and/or cancer research. |

| In June 2003, I was
diagnosed with stage II Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We hit it
with everything we could: surgery,
chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation. I'm
pretty certain that the chemo hit me with everything it
could, but that's another story!
During my treatments, I found that being able to joke and laugh about this whole experience was a definite strength. "Laughter is the best medicine" they say. Well, it's no substitute for the power of modern medicine; however, a good laugh can definitely make a person feel better. I believe that the very same laugh can also give a person strength. If a person can make fun of cancer and laugh at it, then that cancer is not quite so scary anymore. |

Our goals are simple; make cancer patients laugh and give back to the cancer community. We do that by selling our unique products, all designed to help people laugh in cancer's face! You buy a shirt, we make a donation - it's that simple! Every penny of our net profits are donated to cancer related non-profit charities. We can make those cancer patients laugh and maybe even help to fund a cure! |

We do not accept donations. We raise money through the sales of our t-shirts, hats and other items. If you would like to make a donation, please donate directly to the organization of your choice. We recommend the non-profit cancer charities listed below. We are working to partner with some of the best cancer charity organizations. Our plan is to develop a relationship with them that will help promote both gotCancer.org as well as their organization. We will also donate a percentage of our net profits to that organization to help them fund their programs. |

The mission statement for Cancer Sucks is to "provide a forum for those who have lost loved ones to cancer while aggressively raising money to find a cure.
