At my core I guess I fold because I'm just angry.  Angry that cancer took both my grandpas (stomach & colon), angry at hearing people at church have gotten bad diagnoses, angry at reading on Facebook how a friend of a friend lost their battle.  It's not just cancer either - this runs the gamut from ALS, MS and Parkinson's to Alzheimer's/Dementia.  I'm angry that friends, family.......hell, anyone really, has to live with and suffer through these diseases and I'm hoping that within my lifetime, the results of this will pay off.

I fold for the same reason I donate blood. The same reason I put my loose change in the Salvation Army bucket (and the Ronald McDonald House bin at McDonalds).
I fold because it does good, and because I can.
Fortunately I haven't lost anyone close to me from disease.

Thank you,

I may have posted before, but I'll post this in case I forgot.
I fold for my extended family. My Grandfather died of Cancer and one of my Uncles suffers from Parkinsons. I also want to help find cures for other diseases as well. Every little bit helps in my opinion.

I fold for my family.  Specifically my uncle who has recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons.
