Janie Canei is battling Breast Cancer for the second time, this time in
her lungs, neck, and brain. She is presently considered terminally ill,
but she remains positive and focused on getting better with the support of
her son Matthew. Matthew, who is an 18-year old college student at
Savannah College of Art and Design-Atlanta, had the idea to create an
online environment that would provide motivation, inspiration, and support
for not only his mother, but for anyone in a similar predicament.
He created FacesForACure.com to be a huge online "wall" in which visitors
purchase space on this wall to place a photo of themselves or a loved one
who has ever battled cancer. Matthew's invisions a huge digital
composition with hundreds, potentially even thousands of survivors or
cancer fighters digitally side-by-side creating a large spectacle, which
he believes will leave the viewer feeling motivated, and inspired to
continue their battle against the disease.
Matthew did not want this site to only benefit his mother, but also all of society. He vowed that no less
than 50% of all proceeds from the wall will be donated to breast cancer
research, to aid in the discovery of a cure. His site can be visited at
http://www.facesforacure.com. Matthew looks forward to your future
contributions to the wall, as he will stop at nothing to see his vision in
the flesh.
