Laughter is medicine and science says there are real and tangible benefits associated with laughter.  So if you love laughter and crave comedy, maybe that’s just your body nudging you toward better health. Here's Those 9 Very Real Reasons: 1 .  It’s good for your heart!   One study showed that people who have heart disease tend to laugh less than people who don’t.  They also responded with less humor to normal life situations.  Humor is good for your heart! 2.  Helps fight cancer .  The Cancer Treatment Centers of America actually use laughter  therapy to boost immunity, relieve pain, and improve moods in cancer patients. 3.  Heals relationships .  One of the greatest benefits of laughter is that it brings people closer together.  It can relieve anger and anxiety while restoring positive feelings.  Laughter can break the tension in a  tough moment and pave the way for finding solutions to relation...

To celebrate the American Cancer Society’s 100 th Birthday – along with 100 years of saving lives – I’m raising $100 in 100 hours, through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I’m asking for your help to reach my goal. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities to finish the fight. Every breast cancer walk and event is an incredible and inspiring opportunity to honor those who have battled breast cancer, raise awareness about what we can do to reduce our breast cancer risk, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with research, information and services, and access to mammograms for women who need them.  One hundred years ago, the American Cancer Society started the fight of a lifetime – the fight against cancer. I’m working to reach my goal of $100 in 100 hours to help the American Cancer Society reach their goal to make this cancer’s last c...

Last week when the government re-opened, thousands of furloughed employees who were struggling to get by without a paycheck rejoiced. I celebrated for another reason -- because thousands of people like me with cancer will be able to resume treatment and clinical trials through the National Institutes of Health.  I started a petition on Change.org when the government shut down shortly after I applied to enter a clinical trial for my cancer that was federally funded. Over 150,683 people signed -- including you -- giving a voice to people like me who were directly impacted by the shutdown.  Thanks to you and everyone who signed, my story was highlighted by news outlets like Reuters, The Washington Post , MSNBC and the BBC. By lifting up the voices of those who were hit hardest by the government shutdown, you and I contributed to the national outrage that pressured our nation's leaders to reach a deal and reopen as quickly as possible. When this began, I...

Today is the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we want to make a big impact. We are so proud of the progress that has been made since the American Cancer Society started the fight against cancer 100 years ago, but we’re not finished yet. In fact, we are determined to make this cancer’s last century and finish the fight against breast cancer and all cancers. That’s why our goal is to raise $1 Million in 1 Day for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program. Thanks to supporters like you, the Society is funding groundbreaking breast cancer research and providing critical support for those facing the disease. Together, we have the power to kick October off in a big way!  Tomorrow, we’re asking our Making Strides community to come together in a powerful way to raise $1 Million in 1 Day. A $20 donation could help provide free information and support for someone facing breast cancer or any cancer through our 24-hour toll-free hotline. Cli...
