Cards For Cancer – The Program

On April 10, 2010 individuals around the world will deliver over 100,000 uplifting cards to their local cancer centers. Given to individuals battling cancer, we hope to raise their spirits and help them in their fight.

We put out the call for team leaders and volunteers in mid-February, and have had an overwhelming response:

• 700 teams making cards in 49 states and 7 countries

• 6000 Facebook fans, thousands of volunteers

• 10 partner non-profits helping us reach over 500 Cancer centers

Now, we’re looking for sponsors to help us reach our goal and beyond. Come join us.

Meaghan Edelstein - Founder

In February 2007 Meaghan Edelstein, a law student at Shepard Broad Law Center in South Florida , was diagnosed with stage 3B cervical cancer. After being misdiagnosed for over two months the tumor was finally discovered by her doctors. She was told she had little chance of survival but Meaghan decided to fight. She was immediately flown to Boston where she received treatment at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. After receiving internal/external radiation, chemotherapy and numerous surgeries Meaghan was on her way to recovery. While in the hospital many people visited Meaghan, she also received many cards and gifts along the way. Meaghan credits these small touches of love with giving her the extra strength to keep fighting for her life. Looking for a way to reach out to others Meaghan started a blog called I Kicked Cancers Ass where she wrote openly and honestly about her experience. Many began to find her on her blog and were able to receive answers as well as comfort. Realizing she was helping others began a healing process of her own. Wanting to make more of a difference she thought hard about what else she could do. Finally the answer came. Remembering the cards and gifts she received and how they lifted her spirits during a desperate time, Meaghan decided to match those who wished to give with those who needed support. Even though Meaghan finished law school, took and passed the Florida Bar, she knew there was more to life than going to an office every day.

Thus began SPIRIT JUMP.
