Thanks Burbie

Social mediums such as Home have given us the ability to touch so many more people than we ever could in our daily lives. Sharing information of any all sorts is bound to reach a much larger audience these days

There are a lot of people in Home who have created user based events for the distribution of information and the support of breast cancer awareness in the past few years. I have a few friends who have done these and it is always good to hear about another one. The more that we support each other in Home for various causes, the more real this “virtual” reality becomes to us.
Cancer in its many forms has touched us all in our lives, I lost my father to it many years ago when he was a fairly young man of 48. The more we use every medium at our disposal to get the awareness out there the better. This place we call Home is another great tool and knowing that each avatar here is a real person makes it all the more important.
Nice article Dlyrius.

Thanks Ted,
I feel the same way, Home is HOME, not a game. I might have tons of games sitting around in the closets of my actual house, but that doesn’t make the entire building a game now does it LOL

I feel that Home is much like “real life” because behind every avatar is a real person, and with that all the things that make them who they are. In real life you wouldn’t think twice about helping a friend, so why not here. Great article, with a lot of heart!

I will do my best, and even if it only helps one person, it was well worth the efforts!

Sometimes a little effort or what seems like a little effort will do a lot of good. That may not sound right but I know what it means so it’s OK.

Besides monetary support there’s also moral support and efforts like this are helpful to some.

I have a couple of web pages with Cancer links and they get little in the way of visits which is fine because both of them I know could have a visitor or two who’s well heeled financially who might donate a substantial amount of money. Your efforts may well do the same.

I still wear my TaTa baseball cap on occasion if for nothing else for moral support.

Hang in there and keep on doing what you’re doing.

Thank you for your kind review, it is greatly appreciated. I have always seen social mediums like IRC and Home as the perfect place for the exchanges of ideas, cultures, and information, and have used them for those exact purposes for decades.

As for future events, Tubslug informed me that he will be posting future events on the Activity board as they come up and I believe the next one scheduled pertains to “truth” on Sept. 29th. I know he would be more than happy to include you and any of your friend’s that wish to participate in any event he hosts

The statistics for men’s breast cancer were surprising for me. Especially after watching a documentary on the Le Juene (sp) military base in North Carolina that knowingly subjected civilians and military personnel to contaminated water for over 30 years which created a fire storm of male breast cancer victims as well as way too many other health issues.

You are very welcome. I have also lost both people and animals to this disease and welcome the chance to keep it in the minds of people so it can be defeated once and for all.

Geez I was just reading the article on Loot by Norse and posted something that expounded on the very idea that your articulate article exemplifies. HOME has the very real potential to become the “forum” of the future. When I say “forum” I mean it as in the classical sense. A place for trade of goods and ideas. I really wish I had been invited to that flash mob I am a huge supporter of breast cancer awareness and research for the cure. Can’t wait to read your next article… you know that someone is a good writer when they have the ability to speak your mind as well as their own.

Dlyrius, thank you for writing this. I have had a loved one taken by cancer. Thank you for raising awareness for men. There are many great groups for those fighting cancer such as dragon boat team racing. http://www.meetup.com/Warriors-on-Water/

Keep raising the awareness. Home is a fantastic place, where we can accomplish great things. All power to you, Tubslug. I would like to be a part of your next event.

Thank you for writing this, it is always so good to see the issue resurface and keep awareness live. I’ve lost people to cancer, I’ve lost pets to cancer and it doesn’t hurt any less because they are animals either. It is amazing how quickly it can happen too. I hope it continues to get attention as there are so many forms of cancer that can hit anyone, and you make an excellent point that it is not gender specific, not age specific, it can happen to anyone.
