Breast Cancer Cure With The Power Of Fame
There is no known cure for breast cancer. More than 1.5 million people
will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year worldwide. The incidence
of breast cancer has nearly tripled in the past 50 years. A woman's
lifetime risk has increased from 1 in 20 in the 1950's to 1 in 7 today.
Scientists don't know why most women get breast cancer, yet breast
cancer is the most frequent tumor found in women the world over. What
can a woman do when fate has played a cruel joke and a woman's very
life can be in question? What do you do when an intimate part of your
body becomes host to an assassin, a foreign element assigned to
debilitate, maim and kill?
A woman who dies of breast cancer is robbed of an average of nearly 20
years of her life. Breast cancer knows no social boundaries. It’s a
disease that can affect anyone. Some prominent women whose lives that
have been touched by breast cancer include: Anastacia, singer only 29
years old! Jill Eikenberry actress age 52; Ann Jillian, 48, Actress;
Peggy Fleming age 49 figure skater; Kate Jackson age 50 (Charlies
Angels); Olivia Newton-John age 50 actress singer; Patti LaBelle, age
57, singer; Diahann Carroll, age 63 Actress/singer; Rue McClanahan,
Hollywood actress, Rue is best known for her portrayal of Blanche on
the hit sitcom “The Golden Girls;” Shirley Temple Black age 70
Actress/singer; Betty Ford, Former First Lady; Nancy Reagan age 77
former first lady; Melissa Etheridge age 43 singer; Lynn Redgrave, age
59, actress; Edie Falco Sopranos star, Tami Agassi, sister to tennis
star Andre Agassi, and the beautiful Suzanne Summers actress. Dusty
Springfield the singer, died from breast cancer at age 59. Breast
cancer also took the lives of Linda McCartney and Jill Ireland. This is
a disease that has plagued women for centuries. The mother of Louis XIV
of France died of breast cancer in 1666. These high rates of breast
cancer are not acceptable to the women of the world and must be met
with scientific research that provides results.
Despite over a decade of research, and more than $1.7 billion spent,
hundreds of women worldwide are dying from breast cancer every day. Yet
doctors don’t know how breast cancer starts or how to cure it. Doctors
are still approaching treatment for breast cancer in the same old
fashioned ways: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Barbaric
treatments…And scientists keep doing the same old redundant research
that’s simply not working. Over 30 US federal agencies and dozens of
foundations, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are conducting or
funding research, but: No one knows how much money is being raised
every year. No one knows how much money is being spent every year. No
one knows where the money is going. Meanwhile, mothers, sisters and
daughters are dying-at a rate of nearly 110 women a day. It’s time for
a new approach to cure this deadly killer. We don’t want you to have to
under go surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
A global action is the only answer to rising cancer deaths. Someone
needs to answer the action call on all types of cancer. Newly formed
International Celebrity Cancer Research Foundation has answered that
call on global cancer. ICCRF’s war on cancer will be fought with the
power of fame with celebrities from all 192 countries of the world. But
the war on cancer can only be won with the support from the citizens of
the world. Each and every one of you can answer your personal call to
action to help fight the global war on cancer by supporting ICCRF’s
battle on the war on cancer now.
Billionaires whom we have been recommended that we should contact for
support include: Paul Allen, Bill and Melinda Gates, Jon Huntsman,
William and Alice Goodman, Ann Lurie, Jamie and Karen Moyer, Harold C.
Simmons, Alfred Mann, Sumner M. Redstone, Michael Milton and the Palm
beach billionaires. There are simply too many billionaires to mention
them all. The combined wealth of the three Microsoft billionaires alone
is more than ten times the amount spent by the U.S. Federal Government
on research to fight cancer and other deadly diseases. We could use
help from the media with publicity stories, ads and promotions to get
the word out. We are particularly interested in looking for assistance
from the billionaires of the world; there are approximately 600 in the
world. Billionaires like Sergey Brin and Larry Page (Google
billionaires), Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner, and Oprah Winfrey and others
who control the media could get our life-saving message to the world
fast.
Here’s what some very influential and famous people have to say about
breast cancer research. Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta
Jones, "Catherine and I are committed to do everything possible to
eradicate this disease," says Oscar-winner Michael Douglas. Tom Hanks
and his wife Rita Wilson, “I lost my aunt to breast cancer about two
years ago and my very good friend Liz to ovarian around the same time,"
says Wilson, who is married to Tom Hanks. "I've seen what these cancers
are really like and we have to support more research.” Steven Spielberg
and his wife Kate Capshaw, “Steven and I are passionate about improving
women's health," says Capshaw.”
Stars that we know that are interested in supporting cancer research
including breast cancer research include: Melissa Etheridge, Charlie
Sheen, Kirk and Anne Douglas, Sting and wife Trudie Styler, Larry King,
Sylvester Stallone, Nicole Kidman, Bon Jovi, Julia Roberts, Jack
Lemmon, Dustin Hoffman, Denzel Washington, Warren Beatty, Candice
Bergen, Angie Dickinson, Sally Field, Larry Hagman, Merv Griffin,
Carroll O'Connor and his wife, Nancy, Robert DiNiro, Cybill Shepherd,
Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Sean Penn, Gwyneth Paltrow, Carmen

he was moved to serve as a spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day,
which raised money for breast cancer research, because his grandmother
and great-grandmother both suffered from the disease, Sharon Osbourne,
Britt Ekland, Westlife, Simon Cowell, Emma Thompson, Philip Treacy,
Geri Halliwell, Paul McCartney, and Lance Armstrong.

Twain, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Toby Keith, LeAnn
Rimes, the Dixie Chicks, Lonestar, Brad Paisley, Diamond Rio, Trick

Faith Hill and Sara Evans, Richard Marx, Anne Cochran, Lee Ann Womack,
Terri Clark, Dave Koz, Sophie B. Hawkins, Jonatha Brooke, Heart’s Anne
and Nancy Wilson and Mercy Me.
We are also hoping that more of my celebrity friends will come forward
as spokespersons and spread their wings to help support our breast
cancer research. My friends and acquaintances include: Steven Seagal,
Charlie Sheen (Charlie, has done a great job for breast cancer research
by leading an effort in the fight against breast cancer, by encouraging
the American public to take part in a National Denim Day), Wesley
Snipes, Danny Glover, Erik Estrada, Tom Arnold, Dolph Lundgren, Roger
Clinton, Bill Clinton, Usher, Clint Black, Hulk Hogan, Ivana Trump,
Clint Black, John Secada, Sylvester Stalone, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Mike Reno, Eddie Money, Paul Hogan, Jay Leno, Danny Glover, Danny
Aiello, Larry Hagman, Lee Majors, Tyson Becford, Jennifer Tilly, David
Hasselhoff, Richard Branson, Brendan Fraser, Cindy Crawford, (whose
grandmother died from breast cancer), Cher, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis,
Michelle Pfeiffer, and other stars that I have had the good fortune of
meeting in person and others celebrities that I hope to meet in the
future. How about Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnon, Mick
Jagger and Pamela Lee Anderson. (Photos of Denny and the stars can be
viewed at his promotional group listed below.) We have star friends who
are bigger than life and they are ready to become our spokespersons.
But we still need your donations to get our celebrities to
international print and broadcast ads to get the word out. We, the
people of the world can cure breast cancer as well as all the cancers
of the world.
