Hello Team,
We found out today that my mother has stage 1 invasive ductal carcenoma. In light of this I have decided to take a pro-active role in cancer research through distributed computing and other means. I have joined the United Devices grid.org program and set my client to their cancer research program, out of all the research I did on such programs theirs seems to be one of the better clients available. Tho I have reservations about United Devices due to the McOwen case and their employees stance on that incident, because of the quality of the client I feel that I need to put that behind me to be able to dedicated my CPU to the cause.
I encourage all of you to make an honorary donation to the https://secure.nfcr.org/Default.aspx?tabid=123&List=1&ProductID=4">National Foundation for Cancer Research</a>
In my mothers name. here is our information for you to do that
First Name: Kathleen
Last Name: Thorpe
Address: 5583 Basil ST NE
City: Salem
State: Oregon
Zip: 97301
Country: United States of America
E-mail: CancerHelp@cleanyourdirt.com
Phone: 503.507.1271
You can also make a donation to the https://www.cancer.org/asp/donate/don_multi_donate.asp?navToScreen=don_1">American Cancer Society</a>
If you want to donate anonymously, just make it from Team AnandTech.
If you rather get some swag for your donation I will be making a run of Case badges from an old TeAm logo from the AT store days, and some T-shirts, All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society or the National Foundation for Cancer Research. It's going to take me a few weeks to get that set up tho.
Althought we have Health Coverage that is going to cover most of the medical costs I do belive that we will be stuck fitting some of the bill. If you would like to help in that regard we have a paypal account you can do that to the address is;
billing@techmayhem.net
I will keep everyone apprised of the status of that account and anything not needed / used will be donated to the ACS or NFCR.
I thank you all from the bottem of my heart for your thoughts during this difficult time for my family. I'm not a religous person, but if you would keep us in your prayers we'd greatly appreciate it.

It seems a few in the AT community are in a similar situation (refer thread in off topic.) perhaps an AT support group on the matter wouldn't be out of the question.
