What to do?

Well, it's got to that time when I really want to do something to support cancer charities. But what should I do? There are so many different charities, ranging from cancer research to cancer support and even local hospices. They're all very worthwhile, but I can't support everything.
What I'd like to do is to share my own experiences and to show that cancer doesn't have to be the end of everything; you don't have to stop living just because you've been diagnosed with cancer and, even though you'll always be someone who's a 'cancer patient' (even when you've been discharged) there are a lot of benefits, not least of which is gaining a new  perspective on what's important in life.
If I can make things less scary for even one person, I'd feel that I'd succeeded. All I need to do now is to find the right charity.
