cancer.org — I will give the American Cancer Society a penny for every digg this story gets this week. If everyone registered diggs, I'll be out about $5,000. I encourage everyone who can do so to join me and to leave a comment if they feel comfortable doing so. If you can't commit like that, do whatever you can. You digg, I donate. It's that simple.

@stryker2you, I think I will try another post tomorrow. Maybe it won't get slammed like this one did. Please digg the other story too... I will try to keep an accurate count of everyone that diggs either of the two. 23c is not exactly what I had in mind for ACS. They would probably have to pay a transaction fee that dwarfs that.

This is kind of interesting, although I doubt it'll raise all that much money. I can't recall seeing any story get more than a few thousand digs. Dug just for the novelty value.Oh, and I'm digger number 87. Woo-hoo, almost up to a dollar! Take that, cancer!

Yeah, if it had stayed on the home page I'm sure it would have been a lot more money, but now I'm considering either 10c/digg or 1$/digg just to make it less pathetic. I might have to have a 'do over'... Thanks for digging.

GNU has a point. There are people out there (and here) that will gladly turn something like this into an illegal, immoral, situation for profit. I'm sure you won't because you will post proof. I hope this takes off and even if you only get say between 200-1000 diggs....at $1 a pop, that's at max, 2, maybe 3 thousand....the main thing here is the cause.If I could, I would be more then happy to help...but the best I can do right now is help you get diggs.Have you thought about doing the same thing on the other digg clones? Maybe even total up all the diggs from multiple web sites? or is this just a digg thing?

If anyone is interesting in seeing how the diggathon has been going, go ahead and take a look at the duggtrends graph of our progress.<a class="user" href="http://duggtrends.com/GraphAnalysis.aspx?diggurl=http://digg.com/health/Digg_a_thon_A_Penny_Per_Digg_to_American_Cancer_Society_Links_to_ACS">http://duggtrends.com/GraphAnalysis.aspx?diggurl=http://digg.com/health/Digg_a_thon_A_Penny_Per_Digg_to_American_Cancer_Society_Links_to_ACS</a>

There are cancer research organizations with fewer conflicts of interest. The American Cancer Society (ACS) does almost nothing about prevention even though the vast majority of cancers are preventable. They basically promote chemo, surgery and radiation. They also have remained staunchly opposed to supplementing with Vitamin D and getting sunshine despite the fact that Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic and a known cause of cancer (including skin cancer!). <a class="user" href="http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Vitamin_D_Protects_Against_Colon_Cancer.asp">http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Vitamin_D_Protects_Against_Colon_Cancer.asp</a>
