What "can we" do?

We know so little. How can we increase our knowledge to know more?

We can increase our knowledge by investing more time and resources into research. However, having the time and resources would be useless if there is no large participation in sharing knowledge.

What we can do:

  • Demand information - "We don't know" is not an answer.
  • Sponsor Monty's Corner - Monty's Corner is run by volunteers, some affected by cancer. They donate their time and skills to advance childhood cancer research.
  • Join Monty's Corner - We have plenty of things to do. You can choose the Research or the Community projects. Anyone who is willing to contribute is welcome.

WHY?

Why in my brain?
It caused me so much pain.
Why in my head?
Perhaps somewhere else instead.
Why in my brain?
We tried a fluid drain.

I just want to walk like you.
I’ve had enough now, haven’t you too?

Poem from Sophie Pollock who lost her battle with cancer in 2007.

What’s the Point?

What’s the point of eyes,
If you’re not here to see?
What’s the point of ears,
If you cannot hear me?
Every sense on my body,
Useless as a broken toy,
What’s the point of beauty,
If you cannot enjoy?
