Get Up, Stand Up

September 5th, 2008:

We don’t currently have a President willing to issue the national call to arms it will take to beat cancer—yet. But what we do have is ABC, NBC, and CBS all willing to work together. What we do have is Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams, and Katie Couric all on the same stage at the same time during the same broadcast. What we do have is the voice of Sidney Poitier and the music of Eddie Vedder. What we do have is a cast of thousands willing to do their part. And, most of all, what we do have is the overwhelming power of Keanu Reeves.

Get up.

Stand up.
