Cancer is an Asshole: $13.82 isn’t bad for August!

It must be summer, and we’ve all got better things to do, but we did muster a totally respectable $13.82 donation to the American Cancer Society to support cancer research! If you’re wondering why it’s been so long since the last donation and what the heck happened to July (you were on tenterhooks, weren’t you?), Amazon doesn’t make a payment until the total is over $10, and well… it took a little while this time. But I have been watching the reports for next month and things are totally looking up.  As ever, I am enormously grateful to everyone who shops through the links on this site.

I know my family isn’t alone, but cancer was a total asshole to my rockstar Grandma, and that’s why I started this campaign. Since getting the ball rolling here, I have heard of a few more people being diagnosed, some success stories and some unspeakably sad endings. And I expect you have as well.

And now, without further ado – here is this month’s paperwork:

See? Here’s the Amazon.com payment to me from your purchases through the links on this site.

And here – as promised – is my receipt from the American Cancer Society.

How you can help punch cancer in the neck:

1. Click through to Amazon from any Amazon link on this site. I have a few links to Amazon products and stuff on this site, including the book club selection on the left side. And This Amazon Link Here.
2. Buy anything, and your transaction will be flagged as coming from here.
3. At no charge to you, Amazon sends a small percentage of your total purchase to me.
4. I donate EVERY CENT of that sweet Amazon cash to the American Cancer Society, and post my receipts here. If anyone wants additional proof, just drop me a note (thea [at] nutgraf dot net) and we’ll figure out how I can satisfy your curiosity.

So, see? You just buy the stuff you’re going to buy online anyway, the ACS gets a little money and cancer gets the finger. It’s like making a donation for free – what’s not to like?
