Breast Cancer Cure With The
Power Of Fame 07/28/07
by: Denny
Armstrong
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 Electra, Gene Wilder, Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt,
Michael J. Fox, Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo Di Caprio,
Sigourney Weaver, Bruce Willis, Billy Joel, Tim McGraw, Robbin

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.

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.
