You may recall that I wrote about Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, and other celebrities auctioning off lunch dates to help The United Cancer Advocacy Action Network raise money for cancer research. I first learned of the event in SF-Fandom's Kevin Sorbo Forum.
It's a pity this story has not received wider coverage. If you have a blog or Web site you update frequently, please link to the Daily Tell story.
Fans can bid online through Thursday, September 24, at 12 Noon or bid at the auction in person. Here is an excerpt from the article:
According to Rachel Shur, the founder of UCAAN and the organizer of the auction, there will also be an array of other prizes that will also be auctioned off to raise money for the foundation.
Now at 29-years-old, Shur was diagnosed with final-stage leukemia three years ago and only given a 10 percent chance of survival, according to the Star. However, after numerous treatments including full-body radiation, chemotherapy and a successful stem cell treatment following a relapse in 2007, Shur started UCAAN to help those with cancer live their lives normally and provide whatever help possible.
