Alright everyone, please follow my lead.

Grab a pillow, stuffed animal, couch cushion or anything else that has a soft center, hold it in front of your face and repeat after me.

EFF U CANCER!

Good.

Now, hold the cushiony object you've chosen in your non-dominant hand and with your other hand, punch it in it's pretend cancer face. Do it with all of your might ... don't hold anything back.

Good. Glad we did that ... thanks.

Now I want to tell you about two lovely people, Jason Davis and Andrea Gray, who are starting a website to raise $6,000 in support of finding a cure for cancer. They're not Doctors or Nurses or even Researchers, they're just two people that hate cancer ... especially kids with cancer. And, they're doing something about it.

Each year, Jason and Andrea hop on their 10-speeds (do they still call them that?) and bike over 190 miles across the state of Massachusetts in the Pan Mass Challenge, all in the name of kicking cancer's ass. That's incredible! Just the thought of even driving 190 miles gets me tired. The website they're developing will serve as the hub for raising funds and chronicling the training it takes for their growing team to bike a bazillion miles.

We knew that a logo for such a worthy cause needed to be special. We reached deep into our bag of design tricks and crafted a concept that literally told the story of their journey. Jason was excited about the design. And, we were excited that he was excited.

So, when you think that your kids' teddy bear has had enough, stop on by Jason or Andrea's donation pages (here and here) and show them your support. If you can't afford to show them financial support, it's ok, just send Jason a message on Twitter and let 'em know they're doing a really good thing.

P.S. EFF U CANCER.

P.S.S. That was just for good measure.

UPDATE: We decided this morning that we couldn't just sit around an doing nothing. So, we've made the decision to give Jason and Andrea 10% of whatever days we sell today (Midnight CST is the deadline). You get a logo, Jason and Andrea raise money and Cancer gets a swift kick in the ass. Nobody loses here. Click here to pick the first available day.
