Staged4more is raising funds for Stomach Cancer
Many of you may also know that my beloved grandfather passed away last August due to stomach cancer, which has become an issue dear to my heart. I have set up a memorial fund via firstgiving. If you have $5 to donate, I would really appreciate it! All the funds raised will go to Pacific Rim Disease Prevention Center.
