Determined to Cure

I am now writing at 'Determined to Cure', a network raising awareness about cancer and cancer research. I created 'Determined to Cure' after three close family friends died of cancer within four months. It is my way of honouring there memories and helping fight the battle against cancer.

I hope to equip people with the knowledge and power to take action to reduce their risk of developing cancer and support people around them, and the families of those people, who are suffering from this awful disease. I also want to educate people that cancer research centers lack funding as a majority of donations are spent on advertising and the like. Money must be donated directly to these centers in order to cure cancer, which is something I aim to ensure.

Currently, one in three males and one in four females will be diagnosed with cancer before 75. We must take action to reduce this statistic. I am determined to cure the incurable; determined to help find a cure for cancer. Please support 'Determined to Cure' by following this site and our Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest accounts to receive frequent updates.

I appreciate your support of 'Determined to Cure'.

Take care,

My First EVER Post!

Hello!

Welcome to my blog, Maddy's Sweet Life! I plan to share with you all things that make me happy - the things that make my life sweet. I will post photos I have taken, share some recipes I have tried and love, participate in a few blogging parties and discuss some of my favourite books and songs.

To get me started I am going to participate in my Mum's (Natasha from 5 Minutes Just for Me) Sunday Song blogging party.

The song I would like to share with you today is called Building a Family by the talented composer Mark Isham. I first heard this piece whilst watching the movie No Reservations starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart and Abigail Breslin.

The movie is an adaptation of an original script by Sandra Nettelbeck, which served as the basis for the 2001 German film Mostly Martha.

Mum said that the music is also in the movie Life as a House starring Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, Hayden Christensen and Mary Steenburgen. I haven't seen this movie because I am not allowed to watch anything rated M15+ (R in America), but Mum tells me that it is very thought-provoking.


I hope you like this song too! Let me know what you think!



Thank you for reading my first ever blog post! I hope you enjoyed it!

I hope you day is sweet,
Maddy
